“The vice presidency is not worth a bucket of warm piss.”

September 25, 2024 — Winter is coming soon, and I have decided to embark on a fun project: writing a short book on the early days of the CIA.

But danger is part of the job, and it has never deterred us from our vital mission…From our very first operation, CIA has never shied away from the difficult, the demanding, or the dangerous.”

Although he originally disagreed with my analysis (which I posted on October 3, 2017), Dr. Foster has published a letter in the latest issue of Scientific American where he expresses views that are now essentially in full agreement with mine.
