The mission of the CIA is to collect bits of strategic information in order to protect the United States of America from foreign enemies.

Many human rights groups think that extraordinary rendition is as common as the morning post. This is not so: “Both the Congress and Executive branch oversee the CIA’s activities, which engages in covert action, only at the President’s discretion and direction” (Extraordinary rendition 2). The CIA only tracks and gathers information on U.S citizens if there is a legitimate reason to believe that the suspect is or possesses information sensitive to national security.…
