QUESTION-whats the WORST federal agency ever created?

[mskafka]

You probably won't like it but the CIA has been the most dangerous, inept and perhaps corrupt agency in the US government and the kicker is that it has a secret budget. The name tells the mission "the central intelligence agency" but since it was enacted during WW2 it has done everything else but intelligence. The CIA failed to warn the US of NK's invasion of Korea, Castro's revolution, the Berlin Wall, Oswald's defection and the peculiar way he was welcomed back, JFK's assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin, the 9-11 hijackers and every other freaking incident that was important to the security of the US. Oh yeah, the CIA managed to raise, train equip and feed a little army under the JFK administration and abandon them at the Bay of Pigs and the CIA managed to become indignant about a former employee who's husband introduced her as a CIA agent at cocktail parties and blamed her "outing" on Bush. The point is that everyone is afraid of the bungling CIA who has had more successes in Hollywood fiction than the real world and nobody on either side is willing to risk their political capital deflate the the ancient lumbering monstrosity.

The CIA. Yes, they have been responsible for some nasty things-some of which are why some countries hate us so much.

Much of the stuff has made us safer, some of it has endangered us further.
