Why does the CIA have a bad reputation?

The CIA, in the '50s and '60s, did engage in some abuses, and so that certainly created a bad image of the CIA. Today, simply because the CIA is secretive, people think they must be doing something terrible. We have the press revealing, for example, that certain planes are being used by the CIA to transport terrorists. That's information that should be secret, because they're doing their job. They're doing what they should be doing. They're not abusing any rights. They are simply protecting us, and yet the press undermines the CIA and undermines the war on terror by revealing these secrets for no reason whatsoever, except to show that, "Wow, we got a scoop." That's the kind of thing that the CIA is up against every single day.
