Guess that CIA mission is to prop up tourism industry in Europe

[Wolfie]

Don't sweat the cost. The gov't will print more.

I would look at the details, but I don't believe in providing the ChiTrib, NYT, or LAT with hits.

CIA agents think they are James Bond and live accordingly when under cover.

Well that, and USAA insurance.

I don't know what upsets me more: government waste, or the fact that Italian prosecutors have esoteric details of a covert CIA operation.

Mitch Rapp meets Armani

[Sonny M]

I also noticed that they didn't give the name of a single CIA operative, all this info, and they don't know or aren't releasing names?
