Not necessarily. They deal with sensitive information and do many clandestine operations but they actually can be very open on other fronts. Millions around the world cite the CIA World Factbook for country info and they have a website that lists links to a lot of other information and even a site for kids.

Certain parts of the CIA are clandestine while other parts of the agency are just regular analyst analyzing the data.

No , they are suppose to be serving the people of this nation defending our constitution and those who would seek to harm our people .
They are suppose to gather information that is not obvious to the ordinary individual . Observe and report on the activities of those people who seem to be planning to do us harm .
SInce we have no good operatives in the middle east we might as well nuke the entire place of the map .

In recent history.. the CIA has been used as a Presidential Army. Not what it was originally intended to be.
