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.

Here's an interesting audio interview with her: http://www.harrisonline.com/audio/listings/2005/02/lindsay-moran-ex-cia-agent.html
