The Immortal Science of Sharksism-Fininism

Most countries need intelligence agencies, especially countries as big and powerful as the States. The question is whether the CIA is so irreparably broken that you should just burn the whole thing down and start again.

It's actually ironic that in recent times the Pentagon has tried to get into the on the ground human intelligence gathering that should traditionally be the CIA's bread and butter while the CIA has focused nearly entirely on the whole killing humans thing.

The Way of the Knife was an interesting little read, if you want to read mostly stories about the pissing match between the CIA and DoD/Pentagon, some weird characters that got involved with the CIA during the past few years and a little bit about the CIA's decline into the current drone focused state.
