For the rep they get, they actually do objectively more good than bad. It’s just that you’ll never hear about most the good and the bad sometimes tends to get extraordinarily bad. That’s just how it works, it’s why they were founded.
Most of the CIA is doing boring ass grunt work or important but secret shit that kinda could get everyone involved killed. For example sabotage of say Russian infrastructure or training of groups like the Kurds. And then on the otherhand you have some random agents drugging eachother and captured foreign spies.
God, what a fitting start/title.
I didn’t think I would come away with my opinion of the CIA improved.

I just didn’t expect that topic in a list of controversies.
Let’s be honest here. Which country’s secret paramilitary espionage service hasn’t been the subject of several controversies?
This isn’t an all sides bad thing.
