But what dismays the spooks most isn't the ethics or >the propriety of the case--it's that Kostiw had served as a case officer >for 10 years and still couldn't manage to shoplift a package of bacon >without getting caught in a Northern Virginia market. Says one old spy: >"It's a perfect metaphor for the sorry state of the CIA" http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/041025/whispers/25whisplead.htm While I don't think this the place for political debate, I think the state of US intelligence services is something of interest to everyone on the list.
