Why did Americans not trust the central intelligence agency (CIA)?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
Some reasons include:
A. The CIA spied on American citizens.
B. The CIA assassinated world leaders.
C. The CIA played a role in the Watergate scandal.
People typically mistrust that which has no public accountability, which is particular acute in the case of the CIA. In addition, there have throughout the 20th Century been many secret polices which detain people without sufficient legal probable cause and many people believe that the CIA is either involved in similar activities or is on the verge of being involved in those types of activities. Certainly the CIA monitors the lives of people considered "undesirables" based on certain criteria and they lessen that person's right to privacy.
This of course leaves out that the CIA is directly responsible for a number of civil wars and resultant brutal dictatorial regimes in other nations (especially in Latin America) which caused numerous deaths, economic problems, and social issues.
A Note on the past tense used in the question: many Americans still do not trust the CIA.
