The CIA has brought down unwanted governments in coups around the world and replaced them with either military juntas or puppet governments. Most recently the Turkish public is questioning the CIA's alleged role in the recent failed coup attempt in Turkey.
  "Oh, absolutely this was not professionally done. I've been involved in coups before," Robert Baer, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer, told CNN on the night of failed coup attempt in Turkey. "They should have taken CNN Turk and closed it down within the first minutes; the radio station, social media, the Internet. Even if they didn't arrest [President Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan they should have taken care of all of that right at the beginning," he added.
