"It is a scandal in contemporary international law, don't forget, that while "wanton destruction of towns, cities and villages" is a war crime of long standing, the bombing of cities from airplanes goes not only unpunished but virtually unaccused. Air bombardment is state terrorism, the terrorism of the rich. It has burned up and blasted apart more innocents in the past six decades than have all the antistate terrorists who ever lived. Something has benumbed our consciousness against this reality. In the United States we would not consider for the presidency a man who had once thrown a bomb into a crowded restaurant, but we are happy to elect a man who once dropped bombs from airplanes that destroyed not only restaurants but the buildings that contained them and the neighborhoods that surrounded them. I went to Iraq after the Gulf war and saw for myself what the bombs did; "wanton destruction" is just the term for it." -- C. Douglas Lummis, political scientist (The Nation, September 26, 1994, p.304)

Anyway, I don't think Chalmers Johnson ascribes Americans' widespread ignorance of what their government does abroad with their tax money to a CIA cover-up - of course there are plenty of CIA cover-ups, but that's only a part of the story.
The reviewer is struggling with this: "Most Americans find it difficult in the extreme to accept the proposition that terrorist acts against the United States can be viewed as revenge for Washington's policies abroad." From Why Terrorists Hate America, by William Blum, Sept 2002
http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/WhyThateUS.html
He's gobsmacked by Johnson's revelations about Mossadeq and Iran, for instance. But outside America, that's been widely known for a long time. The story's told in Anthony Sampson's book "The Seven Sisters -- The Great Oil Companies and the World They Made", written in 1975, for instance.
Most or all of the US interventions detailed in Bill Blum's master lists and elsewhere were reported, often in full detail - but usually not much in the US mainstream media, or not at all, or not in any version that related to the facts, or not until long after the fact. How would a CIA cover-up account for that disparity?
Meanwhile in the last 20 years US mainstream media coverage of foreign issues has shrunk to abysmal levels. Is it that the readers just aren't interested, as claimed? Could that be because they're not being told?
And so on up to now, with the addition of FauxTV et al, a huge upsurge in US exceptionalism, and denialism, and a situation where an Australian TV crew can go out on the streets of a major US city in full confidence of finding Americans who think Iran is in Australia (but let's bomb it into a glass parking lot anyway) - they might not be typical, but they're not rare either.
A CIA conspiracy to keep the truth from the American people doesn't account for this, not without the full context of the American consent manufacturing industry to operate in, and American spin is fully invisible to almost all Americans (especially those who think they're immune to it) - and it has to do with very much more than CIA cover-ups.
