I guess I expect someone who "served on the National Intelligence Council as the Deputy National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia" would have more qualifications than a BA and MA in English Lit…
And he joined the CIA only a year after he finished his MA? So, what's that degree in Lit going to do to prepare someone to work in counterintelligence?
Sometimes I can't believe the backgrounds of these people who are supposed to be keeping our country safe.
