You watch too many James Bond and Crime movies.

1) Intelligence agents (and assets) are not James Bond, but incompetent government employees. 2) Criminals are not evil geniuses, but are the dumbest elements of society.

Difference between average joe and CIA is how far they are willing to go, how good of a liar they are, and whom they are willing to serve. Beggars can't be choosers, they don't get the best and brightest, they make do with what they get.

The really smart ones get recruited to the private-sector front companies. And CIA is not monolithic, everyone isn't going to be cleared for the compartmentalized drugs and pedo activities done in the name of 'national security'.

Alefantis is creepy as hell, though. Can't help but be reminded of Shaw and Ferrie in JFK.

, it's harder to get into these days as it takes years of dedicated service in related areas to get in, in another who would be... I know a guy who's brother was offered a great job in the beltway, He was promised the whole 9 yards or cars etc... Contradicts what I knew about but these were associates and friends of his that he made in a brief work experience... He declined that offer...This prior he made the right choice.

Of course, but the whole narrative that "real criminals would not do this" is beyond idiotic.
