#2  I think there is actually a simple criteria, when you boil it all down, to who Goss is dismissing: those individuals who *like* the people who live in their area of interest. A good area leader should have a distrustful distaste for his targets, along with a willingness to "pet the chicken". This means to smile and pick up the chicken, while speaking to it in low, soothing tones and stroking its feathers, to gain its trust and confidence. Then you coldly break its neck.

#1  overall good article, but the authors couldn't resist a snarky stab or two at Goss, quoting unidentified CIA malcontents.
