A 25-year CIA veteran has written a unauthorized, 384-page book that sharply criticizes the mismanagement and misdoings of the agency, creating an unprecedented test of the rights of former employees to reveal potentially harmful information.
"The Human Factor: Inside the CIA’s Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture" was written under the pseudonym "Ishmael Jones" to protect people the author has met who didn't know he was working undercover, CQ Politics reported.
Jones denies that the work contains any classified information and said he wrote the book to "improve the system and help it defend ourselves and our allies."
