They've set up so many puppet governments around the world, especially dictatorships like Pinochet in Chile, mostly for the purpose of ensuring a steady supply of natural resources and cheap labor. They've also backed numerous campaigns of terrorism and genocide. Since many of these atrocities became public, the CIA changed its tune, now preaching human rights rhetoric. Of course, I doubt that a little bad publicity has changed the CIA in any way but one: now they put more effort into justifying their actions, in case they're ever brought to public attention.

I know Churchill famously weilded a Tommy gun, but that didn't make him a gangster. While the others have a degree of notoriety, I'm not sure the Cabinet War Rooms fit the classification.
