The State Department is a lost cause and, infact, seems to infect anyone who goes there to work. CIA seems not far behind that group.
The funniest part of all this is, if you look at the history, the CIA was created specifically to 'solve' the problem of politicized intelligence.
It seems that Truman was distressed that he would get conflicting reports from State and Defense (and everyone else), all of them describing the situation from their own point of view (much like the fable of the blind men and the elephant).
He wanted a single agency to collect raw, unfiltered data.
While that is a noble goal, I doubt that it can really happen (at least, not for longer than four years, and most likely not longer than two).
He was already disgusted with his creation less than twenty years after he signed it into existance.
How do I know? Cause I have a copy of his op-ed from December 1963 where he wishes aloud that he could un-sign their charter (because they started going into black ops instead of just collecting intelligence).
I suspect that the timing of this op-ed has something to do with events the previous month, but that is merely noticing the timing, not anything concrete.
I would be happy to post it here, but I only know how to reply so far, and I am not sure whether protocol would be that I put it here in a reply, or start its own thread.
In the interim, just look for it on google. Search for: "The Washington Post December 22, 1963 - page A11"
