Talk:Central Intelligence Agency

Fix the Fix

Mainly, the fix was on for so long at WP that even the CIA articles were obfuscating. You don't get to SAD Special Activities Division AT ALL on the CIA page itself. I had to add it, and I did not go for a list link like on the succeeding pages, so that needs fixing.

Plus, every time I turn around there is a new CIA plot somewhere, so those all have to be linked to in some way from the main page. For example, the latest:

Operation Gladio

As the blue link indicates, this is on AP, thank the stars. Cause it is nowhere to be found on WP as far as the places I have gone.

Gladio needs to go -somewhere- , and all the places it can. For example...

It is not apparent whether it is a Special Activities Division operation, but it seems likely that it is a Clandestine/ w/e it is called one, possibly in the same way as SAD, with its own paramilitary divisions, etc. So Gladio might go on Clandestine as well as CIA, or it might go, as the other plots do, on CIA and SAD. Or it might also need its own CIA Stay-Behind Operations page, which sounds like the best plan.

Gladio (Italian, from Latin gladius, the sword of the gladiators) is a code name denoting the clandestine "stay-behind" operation in Italy after World War II, intended to counter a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe.

The role of the CIA and NATO in sponsoring Gladio, the extent of its activities during the Cold War era, and its relationship to stay-behind operations in other European countries is the subject of ongoing debate and investigation. Italy, Switzerland and Belgium have had parliamentary inquiries into the matter.
