The CIA and the Politics of Counterrevolution: Robert Gates, The Specialist (Part 2)

Robert Gates and the Tortured World of American Intelligence (Part 1) Roger Morris writes in Part 2 of his series on Robert Gates: "Students like Bob Gates were to be something of a remedy for the CIA's first generation of men, so uneducated about a world they manipulated with such careless and brutal abandon. In widening recruitment efforts, and requiring a gamut of substantive and psychological tests (even a psychiatric interview for its new officers), the CIA seemed to acknowledge that its ranks lacked a certain professionalism - in terms of diploma knowledge of the world as well as certifiable sanity."
