You trust bureaucrats who aren't directly accountable to the voters more?

I'm not sure I would classify CIA agents as bureaucrats but I trust them to keep information secret more than I do the entireity of congress.  More to the point these people aren't given the entire breadth of information but instead agents only have information specific to a specific area and even then only as it is directly relevant to their ongoing work.

So the head of the CIA should not be privy to whatever information he thinks he needs (within the CIA)? Some CIA TS/S stuff, he does not need to know?
