Is the CIA Good or Bad?
Hey, other, get back into the poll options.you could ask them yourself, and they could tell you, but then they'd have to...well, you know the rest.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by up-to-date Dav?
Well my dad works for the CIA and according to him, they're basically stuck in the 1950s. Their job is to gather information and you think they'd want to utilize the internet, with all its ripe information on it, to do that, but they haven't gotten around to it yet. There are newer ways of gathering intelligence that they haven't bothered to explore. Keep in mind this is all just from word of mouth though, I don't know much about the subject myself.

Dav, the CIA tried to recruit me straight out of high school. I talked with a CIA field agent, he was the one waiting for me. He told me they'd trained me to become the best secret agent anyone could ever imagine. And a lot of it involved using computers. So I am pretty sure the CIA is pretty well advanced in computer talk, etc.
And now since this is the internet, can anybody tell me which part is true and which isn't?
Can I just call shenanigans and leave it at that?

That's my double you're talking about.Well, I must say I've always admired your stoicism and amiable handwave, madam.
It is far more likely that the NSA would get rid of you, no offense meant. :2razz:Currently bad. I understand the base premise of the CIA, I can agree that we have a legitimate cause for foreign intelligence gathering. But the CIA does a bit more than that, and those parts are bad. I wouldn't get rid of the CIA, but I would restrict it to intelligence. And I would get rid of the NSA.

I thought that it was an obvious and based fact by now that the entire governmental intelligence agencies were 'shady'.I mean, that's a fairly true statement. I find the NSA to be extremely shady and any organization which hires that many PhD mathematicians outside of academia has to be up to something shady. It would be best to get rid of it and not replace it with anything.
