_AND_
Brought Saddam Hussein to power when we wanted to counter Iranian fundamentalist movements.
SO really, the CIA is the cause of most of our problems today.
Plus, if you don't believe that they are a terrorist organization, look up United Fruit Company 1950s, CIA Assessment for Invasion of Cuba 1961, Pheonix Program Vietnam War 1960s-1970s, Allende Assasination Chile 1970s, and Death Squads El Salvador 1980s. Not to mention the CIA financed the overthrow of the elected Iranian President in the mid 1950s which brought the Shah and his dicatorship to power for 25 years.
And we wonder why people in the world hate the US, and the CIA.
