I am now seeing from my own shit above this is the same guym who wrote about the Epphh Bee Eye.
The author's view of the CIA is so dim that I feel like I need to find something else for balance.
Chort, reading the first review now on GoodReads:
But any work of journalism, to be regarded as great, must be objective and here is the problem with this book: it is such a pervasivley negative account, it reports that the CIA is so off the charts bad, that a reader wonders if Weiner is just slamming them page after page. Surely in over 60 years of service the CIA has done something right.
I think some of the Tug denizens might cheer this grim assessment. But at the same tim, the CIA as depicted in the book can't rig a tinpot South American election.
There's some hilarious chincompetence depicted. I already can't remember what shithole country it was, but a female ambassador was doing things the CIA didn't care for. Agents bugged her office, taped the ambassador making lovey dovey sounds directed at a female name, and leaked it as the ambassador having a lesbian affair with her secretary. Nope, she was petting her dwag.
Anyhow, as far as technical writing gifts go, well-written book. And everything is attributed. I do wonder what was left out.

Chincompetent government agencies capable of pulling off the most intricate of conspiracies and keeping secrets for 60 plus years always makes me chortle.

I was a YUGE Lakers fan as a yoot in the mid - 80's and yet little Yella didn't know who the fuck Jack McKinney or how Dr. Buss got rich.
