And now it's time for "the big picture." What exactly does the CIA do anyhow? Seems to me that they have been wrong or missed every major geopolitical altering event of the 20th century, and, of course, the World Trade Center attack. Outing an agent really is a non issue.

Like most intel agencies, the CIA has a big PR problem. The major hits scored on the enemy are rarely, if ever, disclosed. Only the failures catch the light of day.

I tend to cut them some slack. It's not an easy game they play.
