The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

It's not just that the CIA deals with unsavory characters; they become those unsavory characters. Just take a look at what went on (and for all I know still goes on) with drug running around the world. CIA operatives are hip-deep in it, and it goes far beyond their need to gather intelligence.

If we take what the CIA has done in the war on drugs and move it over to the war on terror, it will be the CIA itself that is blowing up buildings in America.

Or perhaps they'll only blow up buildings in other countries, and leave it to their new associates to blow up the Americans ... with the CIA's full knowledge and consent.

I have no idea what valuable intelligence the CIA has been able to supply our government, but they have proven to be a far greater danger to American society than the value of any intelligence could possibly be worth.
