Chapter 958 - 963 Still Too Inexperienced
Reality is always disheartening—the CIA has lucid minds, but they are powerless to change the reality.
And the reality is the CIA messing up their missions one after the other, destroying their image, with a serious loss of talent, and able and willing workers being transferred to the Department of Homeland Security, only established in 2002.
Nowadays, the CIA, let alone investigating enemy intelligence, can’t even protect its own internal secrets; underneath a huge and highly aggressive shell, there lies an old soul.
The three fell silent since they all empathized.
There are many reasons for the situation today, but their own incompetence is an undeniable fact. So, why has the CIA fallen so quickly, and why have its people suddenly become inept at intelligence work?
Porter thought Aaron was one of the main culprits—if a person of such high rank influencing the entire CIA and even the entire United States intelligence system was a mole, then it’s no wonder that any situation could arise.
"The current situation must change; we have to start by cleaning the cancer within, and we can’t rely on a director who gets replaced every few days, only on ourselves."
Porter finally came to a conclusion. Dave said nothing, but the hitherto silent Coit suddenly said, "There’s a problem—if one of them really is a mole, but he has always been tough on Russia and his work also seems to be done well, it seems unconvincing to accuse him of being a mole."
Porter shook his head and said, "That question is foolish—for a simple reason, what does attitude prove? And would the Russians use such a valuable mole so carelessly? Once at his position, he is a strategic weapon; the Russians would rather send half of the KGB to his gunpoint to help him rise than expose this line."
