Is the CIA Real?

A common enough search phrase has some individuals questioning the CIA's existence. While it would be quite the feat for a secret organization to pull off 60 years of fictional covert operations and intelligence gathering, the CIA is in fact very real and certainly most real in the countries in which it operates. One could always request files from the Agency itself to verify many of the operations of the past, but for most, if the information can't be found in a quick Google search then it's not worth finding.
