After the Watergate scandal broke, Congress actually had the courage and the conviction to begin a review of the CIA, and as a result, uncovered some pretty startling facts about the illegal activities this organization had been carrying out for decades. Fast forward to today and there's no doubt that a sweeping investigation of the agency would find even more corruption and illegal actions than it did 4 decades ago.
