CIA had Plan to Assassinate Lumumba- did they do it?

You would think that by now the CIA would at least be humble enough to admit that yes, indeed, they assassinated Lumumba and his dangerous dreams for " economic independence, social justice and political self-determination, and his hostility to a political setup based upon tribal divisions, which the colonialists had effectively used to divide and rule Africa," as the Rwanda News Agency reports. Recently declassified documents say that they had a plan, which makes it sound like they did not do it, when everyone else knows they did.

Then you also have the November 2001, Belgian government commission's report, which " concluded that authorities in Brussels and Belgium's King Baudouin knew of plans to kill Lumumba and did nothing to save him." They did nothing "to save him"- what a travesty!

If the CIA cannot simply apologize, let alone admit, for these acts of terrorism, it leads one to wonder whether the so called declassified documents are a facade of a facade. Think about it!
