Negative Space: CIA
- The CIA has no reason to lie?
- Deception is practically the CIA’s reason to exist, both to overcome and to practice it. Further, the CIA doesn’t exist. Only it’s employees exist, and they can have all the reasons for lying that any other human being has.
- CIA still the ultimate authority?
- Is the CIA still the ultimate authority on CIA-related issues now that they’re attacking Democrats?
- Democrats champion CIA secrecy
- Democratic lawmakers have vowed to end the domestic intelligence loophole that allows criticism of the CIA if that criticism involves domestic employees.
- Who controls discussion of CIA activities?
- When the CIA wins the battle of defining who can and cannot be talked about, there may be a partisan victory in the short run, but in the long run we all lose.
