The Association for Responsible Dissent estimates that by 1987, 6 million people had died as a result of CIA covert operations. (2) Former State Department official William Blum correctly calls this an "American Holocaust."
If you ever wanted an almost complete list of the
CIA's illegal activities,
According to its secret charter, its responsibilities include "propaganda, economic warfare, preventive direct action, including sabotage, antisabotage, demolition and evacuation procedures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-communist elements in threatened countries of the free world."

Although, I have to agree with you. In my last post, I debated which secret service agencies to include... KGB, ISI, NSA, to name just three, were on that list.

If you want some further reading on the subject, Noam Chomsky's books "Hegemony or Survival" and "Failed States" discuss some of the CIA abuses listed on that website. He doesn't mention all in the list, but he doesn't limit himself to the CIA, either.

The CIA has always studied and focused on leftist leadership anywhere in the world. Any chance for a developing country to incorporate leftist policies to unite their people through universal healthcare, full literacy rates, advanced education, and nationalization of economy were completely denied by CIA intervention. Even if leftist governments were democratically elected, the CIA would find ways to assassinate leaders or launch coups to replace effective leadership with war criminals and dictators. Millions of people were raped, tortured and killed around the world in the name of American imperialism and the CIA made it happen. At least when the Soviets did it, they cared about the people affected instead of assessing the cost of "collateral damage".
