Agencies with no oversight are seen as competent? That's news to me. There's a definite waste of taxpayer dollars on propaganda to try to make this point publicly but I didn't think anyone was poorly educated enough to actually believe it.

Sorry are you claiming that the United States intelligence community is incompetent and that anyone who things otherwise is poorly educated?

What are you basing this on?

[timewizard]

Yes.

History.

Are you genuinely incredulous?

Yeah man, you sound like a 14-year old edgelord who just learned about the Bay of Pigs. How many contemporary security professionals would call them 'competent' versus 'incompetent'?
