What was the public reaction to the creation of the CIA?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Are there any choices? If not, I'd probably say there wasn't much of one. To the public at large, the founding of the CIA was probably seen mostly as the formation of a new government agency and no one was really concerned aside from the spy agencies of other countries like the Soviet Union. 

Even before the CIA came around, there were other agencies charged with spying for the US and coordinating intelligence and the public really didn't worry much about them either if they knew who they were at all.
