>"Even if they prevented some terror attacks (and as we know they failed spectacularly to prevente several), that's not a price worth paying IMO." What's always been funny to me about the CIA is if they didn't even do these things: >"overthrow democratically elected leaders, torture innocents, run vile ph psychological experiments" There probably would have been less - if any - of those terror attacks to worry about in the first place. It always existed to provoke and to force varying degrees of military response from nations we antagonized. It was ALWAYS to justify a status quo propped by a military industrial complex - and to overstay the luxuries given to us by Pax Americana. We could have pulled off a peaceful era without bullying, I'm sure of it.
