The real absurdity is if his wife was a secret CIA official and sent him on a mission, WHY would she let him go on a national speaking tour blabbing the whole thing to undermine US policy? Plus letting him lie about it. She must be an absolutely irresponsible, despicable person.
In terms of management skills and common sense...I'd give her a "D"...based on everything seen so far. I know she is quiet intelligent, and probably a decent analyst...but there lots of people in the CIA who ought not be made into managers...and she is one of them.
