Assuming William Donovan manages to get his wish and the OSS carries through post-war (instead of being shut down, assets dumped to State and DoD, the formation of the Central Intelligence Group, and then the CIA) is there any chance the OSS can do a better job than the CIA?
Or were all the factors that led to the CIA having a terrible Cold War still in effect? The close relationship with the mole ridden British intelligence community, the Presidentially demanded stupid paramilitary operations (or, worse, going ahead with risky ones and then making them much riskier as with the Bay of Pigs), James Jesus Angleton, and so forth still going to cripple the OSS like it did the CIA?
If so, what's a good POD for the OSS or alt CIA to be a peer level competitor with the KGB and Mossad and other more successful intelligence agencies of the Cold War?
