      Let’s debunk some misconceptions people have about CIA & the women & men working here. We’re not gun-toting, globetrotting, martini-drinking spies so frequently portrayed on the silver screen. Instead, we're ordinary Americans, doing extraordinary things. http://bit.ly/2BZF3S6 pic.twitter.com/op1091yati

      Myth: People who work for CIA are spies & agents. Fact: US citizens who work for CIA are officers, not agents or spies. All employees, from operations to analysts, to librarians & public affairs, are considered CIA officers.

      So, who is a CIA agent? Our operations officers recruit well-placed human agents with access to secrets. These recruited spies are agents. Agents/spies are invaluable. They provide critical information about their country to help America.

      Myth: All CIA officers recruit & handle agents. Fact: Only some officers recruit & handle agents, which is the job of an operations officer. The number of employees at CIA is classified, but the variety of careers here is similar to major corporations. http://1.usa.gov/1qOxdOa

      Myth: The Agency operates independently & is not held accountable to anyone. Fact: The CIA is responsible to the American people. We operate in accordance with oversight from US elected representatives.

      The National Security Council, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, & the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, provide guidance & oversight. Internally, the CIA Office of Inspector General detects & deters fraud, waste, abuse, & mismanagement.

      Myth: The CIA has law enforcement authority. Fact: The public often confuses @FBI responsibilities with CIA’s. We don’t have law enforcement authority. CIA’s responsibility is to collect intel & information overseas.

      Myth: The CIA makes foreign policy. Fact: CIA does not make policy; it’s an independent source of foreign intel for those who do. We collect, evaluate, & disseminate foreign intel to the president & senior US government policymakers so they can make informed decisions.

          Yes, it is. I don’t think they are ashamed of that. It’s who they are and they are probably proud of their methods and operations. They are only stating they have and always will follow strategic interests decided at the top.

          Reagan & Bush1 (& others) but who cooked up the original idea of Iran Contra IDK. Who ordered the CIA to peddle those drugs to Americans,mostly AAs. So much of Iran Contra still hidden from us,foul deeds never investigated (Mena)

          This is an outrageous lie. If assassinating democratically elected foreign officials (Allende et al) and toppling foreign governments, leaving the people there in utter chaos for generations (Guatemala et al), is not part of shaping foreign policy, then what the hell is?
