How does that even remotely compare? CIA together with other Western intelligence agencies recruited specifically far-right (including literal Nazis) paramilitary groups in numerous countries, which were then integrated into NATO, in order to have local resistance in case of a Soviet attack. The US didn't recruit bin Laden to be a terrorist, but the US actually did recruited these paramilitary groups to be exactly far-right militants and terrorists. In some countries investigations have brought to light that the CIA has indeed at times encouraged these paramilitary groups to commit false flag acts of violence and terror in order to turn public opinion against the left or prepare to commit terrorist attacks in case left-wing parties win elections (examples: Italy, Switzerland).
Claiming this can be interpreted less nefarious and is up to whatever your point of view is, is simply burying your head in the sand.
