What a tremendous waste of resources is the CIA, if this article is accurate.

No, it matches what I've read about the CIA in other sources, including Jim Dunnigan at strategypage.com.

"Spot the CIA agent" is a running joke in foreign countries. Pretty much everyone knows who the CIA agents are in a given embassy. One reason is the State Department finds espionage distasteful...Dunnigan claims (not sure about the accuracy of this) that the CIA "State Department" passports are slightly different from real State Department passports because of the State Department.

As with all government waste:

Multiply your worst fears by three, and you are halfway there.
