Can that be done without negatively affecting their actual job of countering negative powers like Russia?
Yes, absolutely. The culture of criminality and invulnerability is not even helpful to their job. Running drugs to fund black sites where they torture people for shits and giggles is not actually in any way vital to the purported functions of the CIA. More oversight would do them good.
Unless you're asking if tearing it down and rebuilding it can be done without a period of reduced efficacy, in which case, no, that's a price that would have to be paid.
Nope. And their shenanigans killing some people isn't a problem on a bigger scale. They have done more good than evil and as long as it's a net positive its ok.

and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
You can use this argument to justify any genocide.
Some people isn't a genocide, especially when its politically motivated. Your argument is just completely unrelated to the topic.
3 day old account. Lemmy.ee... Opinion rejected.
Yeah, I tend to agree. Especially now that Russia needs to be heavily contained.
They probably have done waaaay more good in the background but nobody notices because of the nature of it all. Russia isn't their only problem. China is more of a problem actually, Russia is just collapsing basically, the only thing to do there is gather intel and make plans to secure the nukes once their government fails (nobody needs Russian Warlords with nukes...)
