Regarding the matter at hand with the CIA flights I think we are all a bit in a pool of the abovementioned $#!1€ as they "sort of" had approval from some goverments around the globe. The question would be: are some people above/outside the law? I think they should NOT be.
Talking as an ATC I see no practical problem with the flights except what cargoone and delprado mention. However morally and legally it's another story.
