Even "we shouldn't be there" falls short of the mark. If someone thinks the CIA is vaguely good (and there are decades of propaganda selling this take), they'll just view a CIA stooge dying in a place he shouldn't be as some "good intentions/tragic mistake" nonsense. That's how a lot of people view Vietnam and Iraq, for instance.
Making the case that the CIA itself is bad cuts through all of that. There's no "oh they were probably trying to do the right thing" excuse that way.
