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."


I'm all for this type of writing. To have the material pre-screened by the agency itself defeats the purpose. That said I realize there are items of national security that require attention. Not to mention the CIA claims the accounts are mostly if not all fiction so what are they afraid of. It takes a lot of courage for people like this to come forward and tell their tales. Kudos to the author.

Well, it might be seen differently by some people.

Is he a brave hero or a treasonous traitor???

Any secrets given out directly or indirectly means treason and makes him eligible for death penalty.
