"- Does the CIA provide a net positive or negative effect on the globe?"
As the CIA is an American intelligence organization, responsible for American interests, the correct question would be: "Does the CIA provide a net positive or negative effect on American power and stability?"
Now, we can debate that question all day long, but AFAIK the CIA has no responsibility to "the globe".
- maxerickson 9y agoI'm a US citizen that would prefer that US government entities have a net positive impact on the globe. I guess I'm not the only one.
- MrZongle2 9y agoI don't think that's unreasonable, but as things stand today that's not what the CIA (or any other US intelligence agency) is for. It's like wanting a hammer to work as a screwdriver, even when the latter is appropriate.
