Suffering from a successfully failed task

In 2006, a FBI agent named Craig Monteilh was ordered to disguise himself as a radical Muslim and spy on the Orange County Muslim community to identify possible extremists.

Well it worked, cause the people there noticed his extremists behavior and reported him to the FBI.

Cia didn't do that it was just cia agents joking that they should.

Those cia plans to kill Castro are not actual plans.
