So for the same people to be responsible for both the JFK assasination and 9/11 doesn't seem logical due to the time span in which the same people would have been in control.

Also, it makes sence that people in these kinds of agencies and branches of govn't would promote people and work with like-minded people. "Team player" if you will. Kinda like in that movie Clear and Present Danger where even though Agent Ryan rose in rank, he was still kept in the dark about many things because he was considered to be a "boyscott".
Maybe I need to clarify myself. I did not mean the same exact people in the Agency, since most are dead or very old, committed both crimes.
Actually your second paragraph hit's it pretty close. The compartmentalization you talk about with "Jack Ryan" is s.o.p. for the Agency.

A spook by the name of James Jesus Angelton was a major player in the company from the 50's to the 70's. During the Watergate hearings in the early 70's he was asked during a interview what he thought Nixon mean't by "bay of pigs" his response "I am not sure. I wasn't privy to who hit Jack."
