Watch out for the honey-pots hanging around the water-cooler, they can be enchanting and deadly.
I'm skeptical, what does bitcoin need CIA for? It doesn't, AFAIK, bitcoin has got where it is without them (unless Satoshi is an agent).
I have suspected for a couple months that this forum was being watched, and that a couple of forum members were agents keeping tabs on us; but I'd be very impressed if Bitcoin were a CIA project or that Satoshi turns out to be a government agent. I've been careful enough that most average forum users aren't likely to be able to discover my identity, but not careful enough to prevent the feds from doing so. I would consider that futile. And considering that I've personally mentioned that I have worked for the federal government in the past, they almost certainly know the real me. These guys aren't surprised easily.
What it could do with is for CIA to keep its hands off and play fair. They are more likely to be a hostile threat than an ally.
Yesterday I would have agreed with you, but as I mentioned, the CIA openly reaching out to Gavin in a friendly manner implies that they intend to "play fair", if they intend to play at all. Hands off is almost certainly not an option now, and probably never was considering what the goals are.
