This is my reflection on the current relationship to the CIA.
I have a really good relationship to the CIA, I know that they have done all kinds of bad things in the past. But they are genuinely, interested in the wealth fare of the US. They are very conservative, and very geeky.
They are a secret service, so they are also involved in some pretty nasty things. But it is the way this works.
Can they be trusted? To a point. Are they important, yes. Things like the flight crash has to be investigated, and it has to be tackled. This is the CIA. So we need them.
Also at the border, they are needed.
So keeping a good relationship to them is a way to get things done.
However, it still needs to be done with honesty and good will.
G-d bless the will to be honest in this challenging environment.
