Then this might interest you: "The legacy of the Central Intelligence Agency is one not simply of an omnipotent spy agency which can learn anything from anyone and pull off covert operations with ease. The true legacy of the CIA, according to a new book, is its sheer incompetence."
And as Gadi said, if its in a book, it must be true. I know one former FBI agent that would probably say the same thing about the CIA (and has), however, so I'm not much on defending them. But the FBI is represented overseas as much as the CIA and then you have the other alphabet groups that you know of, or don't have a clue of, that must do a pretty decent job. I especially appreciate some of the operations our special forces have pulled off covertly - having read several accounts of such ops pre-invasion in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, some of the most daring ops were those that were screwed by "management" (such as NOT taking out terrorist leaders due to lawyerly advice). _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
