Has anyone read the book? What're your thoughts on it. I read it over the past few nights and found the details of the application process and the "farm" training pretty fascinating.
But the book is definitely written from a leftist view point.
Still, it left me feeling that the job of a CIA Clandestine Case Officer is one of the most boring and tedious jobs out there. Further still, it made me realize that if I accept a CIA job within the DO, I would be ripped apart from my close friends and family.
Lindsay has been making the rounds on various talk shows, newspapers and online publications with a very strong anti-CIA viewpoint. She says the agency is managed by people who are not competant. She says that the best and brightest in the agency leave the agency within 5 years and the dumbest of the recruits end up spending their lifes there (and eventually end up getting promoted). She basically advocates a strong anti-CIA opinion and is very vocally promoting it.
To some extend, she is being so vocal and leftist so that she can sell her book.
