How about finding and killing bin laden? In my opinion CIA acknowledges the multi-dimensional and grey world, we live in. They are human they make mistakes, but if past 60 years are a record, they did a good job.
- slim 10y agoWhat if Ben Laden was the instrument of the CIA like the contras were? What if no jounalist dares to investigate it after what happened to Webb?
- rrggrr 10y agoRJ Hillhouse wrote a book, "Outsourced", that comes close at time to advancing this point-of-view. https://www.amazon.com/Outsourced-R-J-Hillhouse/dp/0786169575 https://www.amazon.com/Outsourced-R-J-Hillhouse/dp/078616957...

- gragas 10y agoThe CIA has had 60 years of "illegal" coups and overthrows of democratically-elected governments. Many would find nearly everything that the CIA has done to be extremely unethical, un-humanitarian. That said, I agree that the CIA has done a great job. Unethical? Sure. Effective? Absolutely. There have a been a few major f*ck-ups, but for the most part the CIA has an extremely good track record of shaping the world to the liking of the US (or at least to the liking of top strategists and leaders of the US).

- sctb 10y agoPlease stop commenting like this! We've asked you specifically not make baseless accusations of shillage, and further to comment civilly and substantively.
- inB4blox 10y ago^ The more subtle shill deploys misdirection, ad hominem and appeal to perceived authority ... (sorry, I couldn't resist you basically just left yourself wide open) :D Edit: Add: (1) "My dear sir" (to fulfill requirement of civility) (2) "To strive is to err" -- Goethe (to fulfill requirement of substance)
- nitrogen 10y agoIsn't a huge chunk of that "grayness" caused by the CIA et al. in the first place? I would much rather see all that effort put into meta-societal research, in the open, to try to figure out how to make the world's people want to converge to stability naturally instead of constantly creating and trying to control instability.
