#2  Every time I had to participate in Escape and Evasion training I was waterboarded
It really only works if you don’t know how to swim or you are afraid of water
Not a big deal except for getting my sinuses cleaned

#1  It's the first interview she's ever done, she said, and she decided to speak to make clear she was not forced out of the agency but left on her own terms.

Because it's all about her you see. Nothing she says here or writes about in the future will in any way, assist the efforts of the intelligence community today or in any future collection challenges.

Did I mention it was all about her and not about the people or country she was sworn to protect ?

"Departed on her own terms." And the "terms" of retirement for a gov't SES are indeed quite nice. The "terms" are however, afforded to all retirees.
