The Cognitive Dissonance of Spying
It's Always Illegal and Often
Immoral
It is being reported that the attempt by Director of Central
Intelligence John Brennan to steer the CIA away from paramilitary action and
back towards conventional spying and analysis is not going well. Media coverage
of the problem is depicting it as being partly driven by bureaucratic obstacles
associated with budgeting and allocation of personnel, but the truth is that
cultural change that has taken place over the past thirteen years is the real
culprit and one must conclude that it will be even harder to shift than if it
were simply a question of who gets the money and the
promotions.
