-The Agency spies on every country in the world except Great Britain, Australia, and Canada
-The CIA undertakes covert action to influence or overthrow foreign governments or political parties
-The Agency trains its officers to break the laws of other countries
Inside the CIA is an extraordinary guide to the world’s most successful house of spies.
