In theory, yes. In practice I can’t imagine the political will exists to actually take down government-sanctioned criminal enterprises like the CIA. I think it would take something like a revolution to actually clean house at that level, and even that’s a long shot because revolutions make things worse more often than not.
I think reforming the CIA from the ground up isn’t impossible, though it’d require a great deal of political will. Going to punish the leaders though, that’s probably a lost cause.
Behind the Bastards podcast has taught me that we will never fix the culture, will only sometimes remove individuals, and it will always be shitty.
Hey now, just because it can’t be fixed doesn’t mean it can’t be better. The CIA is at a special level of dogshit. They can be less evil.

Are they not already less evil? All the stuff people criticize it about took place mostly 50+ years ago.

No. It’s really not.
Ahhh yes, I had forgotten about that. Pretty evil shit.
