Interesting, glad the top two are on our side...Pollard, Franklin, Pearle, the students 'selling art', Urban Moving. I don't blame them for looking out for their own interests, but some of their best successes have been against the US.

Some of the Mossads operations:
* Achieving the "Secret Speech" of Nikita Khrushchev, where he condemning the crimes of Stalin.
* Locating and returning to his family Yossele Shumacher, a small boy who was kidnapped in Israel and spirited abroad.
* Pursuing Nazi war criminals, culminating in the capture of Adolf Eichmann and bringing him to justice in Israel. (1960)
* Bringing a complete Soviet Mig-21 to Israel, just a year before the Six Day War. The information collected from the plane was a major contribution to the IAF's absolute success in the war. The USA, who considered the Mig-21 as the "horror of the west", and who tried to achieve this plane as well, received the plane from Israel later that year. (1966)
* After the Munich massacre, the Mossad carried the Wrath of God operation, in which the "Black September" terrorists who participated in the massacre, were eliminated, including the leader of "Black September". (1972-1979)
* Assisting IDF special forces to locate and eliminate senior PLO terrorists in Beirut. (1973)
* Achieving the information that allowed IDF special forces to rescue the hijacked "Air-France" Israeli Passengers in Entebbe, Uganda. (1977)
* Achieving the information that allowed the IAF to attack the Iraqi Osiraq nuclear reactor, just days before Iraq would have reached the "point of no-return". (1981)
* Kidnapping the atomic spy, Mordechai Vaanunu, and bringing him to Israel for a trial. (1986)
* Bringing over 14,000 black Ethiopian Jews to Israel from a hostile territory, within 33 hours. (1991)
These are only a sample of the Mossads operations, which include collecting information in accordance with priority intelligence requirements, covert relations with other countries and intelligence agencies making major contributions to the peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan redeeming MIAs, technology and research.
Hope the info helped.

"Pollard, Franklin, Pearle, the students 'selling art', Urban Moving. I don't blame them for looking out for their own interests, but some of their best successes have been against the US."
Please document with sources your reason for putting Richard Perle on a list that includes a man convicted of spying (Pollard) and a man indicted recently on charges of passing classified documents(Franklin), and for your statement that says Perle's interests are against the interests of the US.
Richard Perle has spent his life in service to the US. He worked for Sen 'Scoop' Jackson, Pres Ronald Reagan as Assistant Secretary of Defense, and Pres George W Bush. He was a virulent opponent of Carter's arms control policies and the UN's multilateralism.

The CIA has not done poorly, but it has been handicapped by a nearly unrestrained press which has often harmed the agency.More harm was done to the CIA by former Senator Torricelli (D-NJ) and his liberal cohorts when they made the CIA stop doing business with "unsavory people" than the press could ever do.

The entire US intelligence apparatus is far and beyond better than anyone else. There is no doubt about that.

Let us not forget that traitor Frank Church, and the even bigger traitor Patrick Leahy. As long as there are Democrats in this country's government, we will have moles and leaks, and the CIA will not be able to do its job as well as it should.

Yah, but realistically: the CIA doesnt really report to the House or Senate on ultra sensitive matters. I wouldnt expect them to. Nothing is said of CIA spies within the KGB and other operations that have been wildly successful either.
To: Alex Marko
Good point. I still think they'd be a bit more effective if the political hacks had less knowledge of clandestine ops, though.

Interesting, but I noticed one glaring omission, an intelligence oranization NOT included.
CONTROL was not included. Chief would not be pleased. I don't recall Agent 86 ever failing to successfully complete a mission.
A glaring omission, but no doubt due CONTROL's adherence to secrecy protocols...such as the liberal use of the "Cone of Silence".
