CIA, friend or foe?

I've just surfed mm's site and came upon this.
Just wondering, does 'secrecy' have a place where it's good?

CIA Director Defends Intelligence, Methods

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - CIA Director Porter Goss, saying his agency struggles to penetrate terrorist sanctuaries overseas, insists that "we know more than we're able to say publicly" about Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

In a rare television interview, Goss defended the CIA's track record, which has been tarnished by allegations ranging from erroneous or hyped intelligence leading to the war in Iraq to reports the agency runs secret prisons abroad for terrorism suspects and uses harsh interrogation techniques amounting to torture.

"What we do does not come close to torture," Goss said, though he declined to elaborate on the agency's interrogation techniques.

Al Qaida leaders Bin Laden and al-Zarqawi haven't been found "primarily because they don't want us to find them and they're going to great lengths to make sure we don't find them," Goss said in the interview broadcast Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "We're applying a lot of efforts to find out where they are." He insisted the CIA knows "a good deal more" about the men "than we're able to say publicly."

1. The CIA is a knife.

You can use it. It can be used on you.

Always try and keep it pointed away from yourself.

2. I think the CIA sets up an undemocratic parellel government

And BLOWBACK is the consequence. I feel like we are creating bigger enemies. If you can't fight a war out in the open beause the American people won't support it then it isn't worth fighting. But the intellectuals in the CIA think they know better and so they fight proxy wars and create new enemies when they double cross people.

The National Security Act was pandora's box. Now we're stuck with the National Security State. If half of what is thought to be true about the CIA is true it should be abolished.

3. Friend to the fascists, foe to the world. Murderous thugs.

4. The C.I.A....

is a New World Order Swat Team. Look into MK Ultra and the Monarch Project.
