Best of cia

This has to be the most definitive document about CIA. Instead of following the route of endless criticism (and there is a lot available), the filmmakers let the CIA directors speak. And they do it with with candidness. Only very experienced interwievers can do this. We can probably never get any nearer to the most secretive organisation in the world. It shows CIAs job and position being very difficult. And it surely is. How can you stop violence and threat of violence in the world? With compassion? No. With violence? It only begets more violence. It would be very good If Americans and other nations finally realised that you can't win an ideologue or religion by destroying it's supporters. It only feeds more extremists. After AL gaida came Isis. And what is next? Highly recommended.
