Tim Weiner did not write "the definitive history of the CIA," he wrote a factually inaccurate book that has been widely criticized. The criticism resulted in his being denied the Pulitzer Prize for this book. A much better book on US intelligence is Christopher Andrew's acclaimed For the President's Eyes Only.
I WOULD LIKE TO EAVESDROP .......
On a few conference calls of our world wide network of tax payer supported snoopers, who in the great and growing complexes just north of DC in Maryland (and at undisclosed locations in every other major USA city) are combing through electronic communications.
In addition to "what did they know and when did they know it?" I specifically want to know enough to spoil their unconstitutional plans.
Thank you.
