The Church Committee held public hearings where many outrageous and embarrassing horror stories about the CIA were aired to a live television audience. During the Carter administration, the CIA was put on a leash and its budget gutted. Many blame these actions as the cause for the 1979 [[Soviet]]-backed Iranian Revolution, the fall of the Shah of Iran, a longtime ally who helped defeat [[Hitler]], the rise of the [[theocratic]] [[Islamic Republic of Iran]], the [[Iranian Hostage Crisis]], the defeat of President Carter, and the election of President Reagan.
