I think your giving them to much credit based on the fictional interpretation of the all mighty CIA.

In fact the biggest problem with the CIA is that they don't fund operations enough so they don't have proper feet on the ground. They depend too much on other agencies to provide their technical means (which are hugely exagerated). And they're a government department thats highly politicized.
I agree that the CIA has been sloppy in the past, but they are not the only intellegence agency out there. There are a bunch of other agencies like the NSA and the Israeli Mossad network for example.
