the Afghan that shot the NG men in DC was a CIA contact, hence he got here.
I'm a retired DoD civilian employee, with decades on the intel side of the business.
I know there's probably a whole lot I still DON'T know, but geezus, what are the reasons we're happy that we have a CIA?
Everything that I can think of that we've heard about in the open is a failure (Bay of Pigs, dropped ball on 9/11, various assassination attempts, regime change attempts, etc.)
What am I forgetting, or else why are we glad, as citizens, that we have a CIA?
How many covert successes are there really out there?!
