They are vile pieces of garbage, regardless of foreign policy.

This is flawed reasoning considering the US track record in being involved with terrorist organizations, drug cartels puppet dictators. Over and over the alphabet agencies have had their hands in shady business all over the world; drug trafficking, human trafficking, military coups, assassinations, weapon supply to terrorists and dictators.
To sit here and say no they definitely have no involvement is shortsighted and frankly illogical. We don't live in a segregated global environment anymore and the "intelligence" agencies are everywhere these days. You can't just say nope, ISIS is independent, with certainty when history suggests the possibility of some form of US involvement is much greater than zero.
Whether it's a result of blowback or purposeful asset creation nullifying any US responsibility in ISIS is not logical considering the past.
