MSI,

The fellow on The News Hour you are so disdainful of is
Robert Baer, author of "See No Evil"

amazon.com

pbs.org

I've read about 1/3 of "See No Evil". While Baer holds himself out to be a critic of the CIA, and independent, in reality he is a shill for the agency. The book was a complete waste of time for anyone wanting to learn anything about the operations of the CIA except some silly titillations regarding Baer's perhaps apocryphal field agent work. In fact, the book reads more like Tom Clancy wannabee fiction than anything else. Call it Jack Ryan envy.

Baer is completely untrustworthy as a talking head. Gosh, I guess that was redundant, huh?
