Why our intelligence is so bad

Via die puny humans, a pretty horrid tale about an ex-CIA spook who was sent to jail for doing the CIA's work. When that work became embarassing to the CIA, they pretended they didn't ask him. Then the prosecutor in the case and the CIA conspired to cover it up. The agent has spent 20 years in jail, mostly in solitary confinement.

If this were your employer, would you do your best work?
