In theory, yes. In practice I can't imagine the political will exists to actually take down government-sanctioned criminal enterprises like the CIA. I think it would take something like a revolution to actually clean house at that level, and even that's a long shot because revolutions make things worse more often than not.
I think reforming the CIA from the ground up isn't impossible, though it'd require a great deal of political will. Going to punish the leaders though, that's probably a lost cause.
