Long and detailed. Also very disturbing. Remember, every country has and should have an active and effective intelligence agency. Without such, a nation is largely flying blind in terms of international affairs.
But in the U.S., it seems that a powerful segment of society has come to see virtually all intelligence activities as bad. Perhaps one could say that this is another pernicious legacy of the counter-culture of the 60s and 70s.

A thought: Do you think a Frank Church would have a snowball's chance in hell to get elected to the Senate today from the state of Idaho? Personally, I doubt it.
