CIA Not So Bad

Strategypage lists the world's best intelligence agencies, and says the CIA is a victim of bad press:

For instance, the CIA has had a few successes despite having a lot of its dirty laundry aired in the press. Just as he was about to depart, then-DCI George Tenet revealed that the CIA had played a huge part in destroying the nuclear proliferation network of Pakistani nuclear weapons scientist A.Q. Khan. A CIA Predator also killed the planner of the October 2000 attack on USS Cole in 2002. In the 1980s, under Bill Casey, the CIA waged what was, for all intents and purposes, an economic war against the Soviet Union. Much of this story remains classified, but some outlines are already emerging.
...The CIA has not done poorly, but it has been handicapped by a nearly unrestrained press which has often harmed the agency.

People are always blaming the press for everything. Keep up the good work!
