Secrets of the CIA

"Secrets Of The CIA" a video I recently watched on you tube tries to explain the secrete world of the Central Intelligence Agency. The video explains how the CIA works and unknown secretes about the agency. The Agency Is said to have a great deal of financial wealth as well as some of the most important information in modern history. A former member of the agency says " The CIA is not really a intelligence agency it is a "covert action agency". Apparently the CIA has been apart of assassinations, cover ups and torture behind the scene and away from the eyes of the media. After the attack on pearl harbor the United States created the CIA to gather intelligence for the safety of the country. But is there more to it that meets the eye? Former CIA agents came forward in the video to explain what they went through as an agent for the agency. While The story's were shocking they also made you ask the question how and why is the CIA involved in so many things around the world? And how could the Untied States allow it to happen ? The agents that were involved the the activities of the CIA were sworn to secrecy and not allowed to tell any one about the things they did and saw. These were regular people from everyday American life that were involved in world wide affairs that shaped the course of our history. Its a hard thing to stomach because to believe this is true could change the way some people veiw the country and its government. Americans are often times raised to believe that the United States is the "Peace Maker" of the world the video would lead you to believe otherwise. The agency is accused of torture, assassinations and cover up's a very strong accusation but backed up by people on the inside. Could it be true? Ask yourself how much you know about the CIA They effect our daily life but we rarely here anything about them. What do they do? and what have they done?
