Makes sense as he was the head of the CIA before his political career. A lot of people of mostly left wing views had a default level of distrust for him due to that. Little in this world do leftists hate more than the CIA.

He was a member of Congress a decade before leading the CIA. He was only even director of the CIA less than a year - but your point is well taken. I gather they named it after him for prestige value. CIA headquarters was previously unnamed.
