Although the CIA has done some nasty and foolish things (LSD experiments on unknowing American subjects, for example), in recent years it appears to have been more inept than sinister. That the conspiracies in these films are so often <i>within</i> the government and have no resemblance to anything known to have happened is hardly coincidental and is a tendentious, if not anti-American.
