Then this might interest you:

"The legacy of the Central Intelligence Agency is one not simply of an
omnipotent spy agency which can learn anything from anyone and pull off
covert operations with ease. The true legacy of the CIA, according to a new

"Even today, most people think of the CIA as a well-oiled intelligence
machine which can go behind enemy lines and bring back critical information
or execute well-planned covert operations to influence world events.
Neither is quite accurate."
