I have to differ about removing the CIA. The CIA performs unique operations throughout the world with highly trained specialists and helped make America the most powerful nation in the world during its heyday. Rather than be disbanded it needs new leadership and a new direction. Obama appointed Muslims into key roles involving our national security chain so no wonder we are getting mixed signals coverups, and chaos. Remove them and appoint people concerned about the safety of OUR nation, not the middle east and I believe things will change even the propaganda problems. Unfortunately for us that is one of the methods they've used very effectively and it works. The problem is we don't know if the MSM is being assisted by other agencies at using this skillset against our own country.
> Give the record of rampant political corrupt and abject failure at the CIA for the last 50 years, it past time this failed agency be closed. What ever useful function that might exist at CIA can be reassigned to any of the other 16 Intelligence agencies.

What could possibly be the justification for the USA or any other country to need 16 Intelligence agencies. Is that in itself intelligent?
