@asteris I’m thinking of general public perception. Say “CIA” in a TV show, it means “Dangerous foreign bad guys who will lie and kill you.” -
@adambanksdotcom that and the movie awe; but eg. in Greek perception, CIA is very much tied to colonels' coup & the invasion of Cyprus -
@asteris Right, that’s a history lesson for me :) -
@adambanksdotcom official version "timing of the coup apparently caught the CIA by surprise" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_military_junta_of_1967%E2%80%9374 … but Clinton apologized
