#2 Sounds like a 'Slam Dunk(™)' to me.

(Slam Dunk is a registered trade mark (™) of the CIA)

#5 We generally don't comment on books..........~~but we enthusiastically support the writing of all manner of bullshit books, papers, documentaries, and television interviews by our retirees and annuitants~~.

#6 The politicization and corruption of the CIA saddens me. Some people I know have worked closely with agency analysts for many years and the couple of analysts and technical means people I've met have been decent, hardworking and patriotic.

But the humint side, and the political leadership, are showing themselves to be in many cases as destructive and dangerous as any government agency can be.

Lacking in honor but not in power.

I'm reading the last Harry Potter book. Between it's dead-on portrayal of 'journalism' that slimes and distorts, and its warnings about corrupted government agencies in power, it is more than timely.

#7 We generally don't comment on books, we generally don't make fictitious films about exploding airplane gas tanks, but for our leftist leaders, we'll do anything, even if it's against America.

How about every CIA from the top down line up at the water board for a voluntary clean up ? Those who chose not to clean up, can stand against the wall, blindfolded.

#8 "We generally don't comment on books..."

except when we're writing the ones against the Administration ourselves.

Truth hurts.

#9 I'll have to read it before I comment. I know dozens of folks that work for the CIA in the DC area, but not many from Langley. The guys in DC are pretty straight-forward. Most are former military. Between the Plame stupidity and some of the fecal matter coming out of Langley as "analysis", I have my doubts about THOSE folks.
