I think we must be careful not to paint agencies with broad brushes.  Good people and very bad in all of them.  What matters in the end is how rotten the whole thing has become or how easily a few bad people abuse the ridiculous level of power in these agencies.  Like I think the C_A is rotten to the core and the few good people cant do a lot to stop the criminal motives of the agency az a whole.  But I am still only guessing from a far outside perspective.
