"Spy Kids" has a trademark and sells video games, I don't see why this isn't trademark infringement. Surely the CIA would be aware, could Disney have approved it? Wouldn't there be notice at the bottom then?

I would guess because it's “spy game” and not “spy kids”. Seems like there is no way those could be confused.

  "Spy Kids" is at the top of the website.

I mean, the CIA helped Walt Disney set up the insane property deals he used to build Disneyworld, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. edit: oh, I misread your comment and thought the CIA page was making some specific references to "spy kids." But now that I've looked, what's there doesn't seem to infringe on anything.

  The top banner say "Spy Kids." They definitely have a relationship, it's whether this is part of it I'm unclear of.

If this site was made recently, it’s possible that it was released with that title and slipped through without oversight (I would guess that this page is the CIA’s millionth priority). Perhaps the page getting attention will cause them to take a closer look and change it.

  >If this site was made recently, it’s possible that it was released with that title and slipped through without oversight Maybe named by some current youngsters who didn't grow up in the '90s's with the cheesy movie franchise with the same name. Or maybe it was intentional and they don't expect to get a ceis and desist from a movie studio when they're the government.
