Interesting for some insight to certain facets of life as a CIA agent, but I find the articles the post discusses to be one-sided.
I think "cute" human interest stories like this, while not necessarily bad in themselves, are particularly suspect at a time like this, when the CIA is in the process of being charged with remarkable crimes against their own nation's democratic system (see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7351710 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7351710), not to mention the continuing distasteful matter of torture and related practices.
I aim no criticism at the post but find that the material that led up to it has a light scent of media damage control.
