In the scandal with “Panama offshore” special services are involved the CIA.
This was stated by the most famous American whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld. In his opinion, American politicians were not involved in the “Panama scandal” as information contained in lists of holders of offshore accounts, was carefully filtered by US secret services.
At the moment in the States created by 17 Federal intelligence agencies, which engaged in espionage, while also doing everything possible to preserve the image of Washington. In the special, according to human rights activist Tom Engelhardt, involved more than 854 thousand civilians, military and private agents. These structures are not considered with the act, and is not limited in financing.
In this secret community includes:

The capacity of intelligence agencies in the US began in the years of the cold war, however, once occurred the collapse of the USSR, they had to disband, but it did not happen. On the contrary, the U.S. government continued to develop these structures. In 2010 the state budget allocated more than 80 billion dollars on intelligence gathering. According to Engelhardt, now the figure is many times more.
In addition to the espionage activities of the intelligence agencies conduct interrogations of suspects using brutal methods of torture to get the necessary information. These structures are not accountable before the law, but rather all American Agency controlled by the intelligence services. It turns out that the country will not be managed by the White house, and secret agents who choose policy on the basis of considerations of American security.
