I would like to know how you define "the past". Because the CIA is still active, and I am hard presses to think that they are not involved in the same activities that they have been since their inception. My response was flippant, as any loss of a life is horrible, but the CIA has plenty of blood on its hands, and nefarious intent.

Not sure what this has to do particular example of the kind of dirty, hush-hush shit that goes down in international espionage... This is hardly the first time Russia tried shut someone up, and of course it's not like the CIA doesn't do the same; we're not ignorant. It's business as usual.

I was responding to the person who said the days of CIA coups and murder are "a thing of the past". I provided information proving that it isn't.
