Completely Unrealistic Portrayal


I just laugh when I watch something like this. Mainly at the fact at how they portray the CIA. The CIA (besides the fact that the don't employ 13 year old special agents), also does not perform any domestic intelligence gathering (the FBI handles this), and of course has absolutely no domestic law enforcement mandate (again the FBI handles anything that has a federal jurisdiction). Although in this case I'm assuming that the CIA tracked these guys into the country (I don't know, I only saw parts of the movie). So in that case they are supposed to coordinate with the FBI in regards to its intel, and the FBI then apprehends the suspects. But whatever, its all in good fun.

You fail to show absolutely any understanding of the workings of the CIA. They CANNOT do whatever they want to do. A CIA Agent operating on American soil, Breaking and Entering, Searching a residence without a warrant, would be immediatly arrested. They CANNOT operate legally on American Soil.

the CIA could *beep* you in the ass hole all over town if they wanted to, and the President would give them all medals.

I can't believe you think this kids film is unrealistic...

Well, as long as you don't say that Freddy Got Fingered was unrealistic...

(Maybe a little far fetched that he moved his dad's house to Pakistan, but I'm sure it could be done)
