That’s exactly what it does. The CIA has a ton of assets in the Special Operations Group (SOG) and the Special Activities Division (SAD). These guys are true snake eaters. D-Boys, Frogs, Green Beanies... the best of the best. They perform renditions, surveillance on HVTs and some even say... assassinations (yikes!).
Think Mission Impossible, only possible... the NOCs (Non-Official Covers).
Having these folks report to SecDef though... Kinda defeats their purpose I think.
So is this just about getting the troops out of Afghanistan?
Boy this news really has people on the internet speculating from little to far outlandish of what it means
I guess one thing we can say is that it did, indeed, shake things up.
