Our nation's security and intelligence system has been under intense scrutiny in the past few weeks, with the Washington Post recently reporting that in a post -9/11 world, the government has created a system so complex that it seems impossible to know whether it is fulfilling the purpose of keeping citizens safe.         

But one person who does not agree with any condemnation of the CIA is Hollywood actor and political activist Jon Voight.

"I have great admiration for all the people involved in intelligence, they do keep us safe and we get very good crops of people all the time," Voight told Pop Tarts at the 'Salt' premiere last week.

He also pointed out that the very crucial role intelligence agents have in protecting the U.S. is often under-appreciated by the majority of Americans.

"Whenever we have been critical of them as we have been, we don't take into consideration what they are sacrificing and what they do to keep us safe every day," Voight added.
