1: Too many movies; too little accomplishment; too much booze.
The ugly truth is the CIA isn't now and never was the formidable operation that Hollywood wishes it was. The CIA hasn't had assassins on its payroll, even as contract operatives, since Vietnam. The Haas story is pretty good fiction though. He has walked his wannabe persona through the settings he would have the reader believe he frequented as an assasin. But any close analysis will quickly reveal the many, many, inconsistencies that are inevitable when one makes up a tale and calls it true. The intriguing thing is, why have there been no consequences for this book at Haas's real job? The lack of blowback does not necessarily mean his employers know his story is true. In fact, if it were, it would never have reached publication, and it is likely Mr. Haas would not be with us. So why no consequences? I'm guessing it can't hurt to have our enemies wonder if we do have secret assasins. For a company that's been largely incompetent in its operations these last forty years, a bogeyman assasin is better than nothing. Saddam had his fictional WMDs to frighten the Iranians. We have our Haas-men to do the same...
