I agree. It looks to me that this is just the case of the CIA operating completely out of control. USA is not to blame, the president is not to blame, and the citizens are not to blame.

If no one is to blame for letting it happen, who do we expect to step up and attempt to address it?

    This sounds like the "following orders" defense. Can organizations really get away with (in this case literal) murder just by appointing some idiot as director and pushing any liability onto him?
