9. Most people seem to believe CIA is just another bunch of boy scouts
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 03:21 PM by EFerrari
or some squeaky clean agency like the DMV. They seem to have no idea how hated CIA is all around the world for their horrible predations.

Last week when I pointed out they were torturers, someone asked me why I hated our "service people". Which is the inference that the administration wants drawn so that poster was just being a good media consumer, come to think of it.
