This is exactly what many of us suspect. A lot of people in the CIA are so loyal to a preconceived leftist ideology and vision of America they fail to see obvious evidence at odds with their vision.
The CIA failed to recognize the imminent breakup of the Soviet Union. They failed to see what was to happen on 9/11/01 because they DID NOT WANT TO SEE IT.
There is none so blind as him who WILL NOT see.
The CIA is too big and too bureaucratic to protect the American people. It is still being run by a Clinton appointee- George Tenet. I don't think we should expect much from it when the culture itself has not changed since 9/11/01.
Though the average American cannot know the secrets of the government, he/she can judge the results. They are abysmal. Thousands of us died on 9/11/01 because of failures of the CIA. There is no way to tell how much of our treasure has been squandered on this agency fiddling while Rome burns before them.
Some of the world's tinpot dictators are better at gathering information than this monstrosity.
