| The CIA really bothers me, but it alone is a red herring.
| Congress consciously and sometimes inadvertently commissions

| divisions. There are several organizations that are specifically
| in intelligence and do all sorts of messed up things for supposed
| national security or geopolitical purposes, and they are mostly
| unknown, even heads of state are unfamiliar with them not because
| they are secret but because theyre mostly irrelevant.

| So to focus on the CIA allows the rest of it to go on
| unimpededed.

| Its like hiring a model to act like your close friend so that
| your girlfriend focuses all her attention on her waiting for
| infidelity with that specific person and you can always disprove
| that there wasn't .... with her. But no further scrutiny goes on,
| when there should be.
