Abstract

The article presents the author's views regarding the policies of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). When the CIA was created, its primary objective was to provide information about military attacks. The CIA's aim was to figure out every major threat to national security that might conceivably arise, and to work out dependable plans for dealing with these threats. According to the article author, the CIA is inefficient. Regarding the issue of subversion in the United States, which has been inspired by the Soviet Union, all one can hope for is that people will at least give thoughtful consideration to the CIA's point of view.
