In all fairness, if you think you know what a CIA operation looks like then you probably don't.

I don't think that means anything.

If the CIA or anyone was armed with fake guns breaking into embassies and trying to extract information by force regularly ... we'd hear about it.

Please describe to me what you think corresponds to a typical and oh so recognizable CIA operation so we can all easily pin it back on them next time they make a move

Something slower, more covert, and less out of a blockbuster spy movie. More John Le Carré and less James Bond.

Not this event that appears to be fairly unique. Simply by being unique that would mean it's nobody's typical operation.
