Spotlighting The World Factbook as We Bid a Fond Farewell - CIA

The end of an era. So many CIA analysts over the decades cut their teeth on their country's entry.

I've followed WaPo since the early 1980s, depending on them professionally for updates and analysis in just the areas that they're cutting.

What a shame and a loss.

All honor and respect to the tens of thousands of our NATO ally veterans who showed such heroism in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world supporting the Global War on Terror. Your sacrifices are not and should not be forgotten.

We need to focus on promoting ethics, community, and the rule of law. (Figuring out how best to do this, of course, is the challenge of our lifetime.)

Hmmm... I wonder if he was the absolutely delightful older gentleman who gave unofficial lunchtime lessons in the DCI's parking garage back in the early 1990s. He never talked about his background, but he clearly had pull to access those spaces and unquestionably knew his stuff.

The CIA’s history of lethal targeting I spoke with intelligence historian Jeff Rogg about the CIA’s history of targeted killing.

Our Vice President @jrogg.bsky.social sat down with HUMINT founder @sashaingber.bsky.social for a fascinating discussion of the CIA's history of lethal targeting

Forget James Bond--truth is more interesting!
