Director of Central Intelligence

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has either killed or removed from power a large number of leaders around the world since 1945. The British daily Guardian writes this, under the headline "The CIA has a long history of helping to kill leaders around the world."

The CIA has conceded that it had improperly monitored computers used by the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee in an investigation of interrogation tactics and secret prisons for terrorism suspects after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
