“But it (CIA) got out of hand. The fella ... the one that was in the White House after me never paid any attention to it, and it got out of hand. Why, they’ve got an organization over there in Virginia now that is practically the equal of the Pentagon in many ways. And I think I’ve told you, one Pentagon is one too many.
Now, as nearly as I can make out, those fellows in the CIA don’t just report on wars and the like, they go out and make their own, and there’s nobody to keep track of what they’re up to. They spend billions of dollars on stirring up trouble so they’ll have something to report on. They’ve become ... it’s become a government all of its own and all secret. They don’t have to account to anybody.”
- President Harry Truman

We let the CIA spend the last 30 years as latch-key children with limitless power with nothing to do!?. They became political mercenaries and the enemy of the people and the constitution. It's the fault of Congress for not reshaping the agency, it's purpose, and funding.
