The CIA's Operations throughout History: Positives and Negatives
This chapter explores the positives and negatives of the CIA's operations and spying, from the development of the YouTube spy plane to the overthrow of Mosidegg and Iran in 1953, the misjudgment of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and the failure to stop the 9/11 attacks. It also discusses the messy withdrawal from Afghanistan and an interview with CIA director Bill Burns, who expresses regret for not pushing back harder to prevent the Iraq war.
