It was an Islamic/nationalist cause, they never would have directly accepted aid from America or the West, in most cases they had no idea the CIA was involved.

I think there are some points there that are debatable. Anytime the CIA gets involved the truth is liquid at best. But the bottom line is they would not have had the assistance if it didn't come from the US. What channels it went through are of little note, IMO.
