The CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (!)
"The CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (!)"
Isn't irony... ironic?
I would think at the very least they'd pull their ads.
Unless they are trying to recruit from the NYT's Al Qaeda subscribers.
(Which, come to think of it, might be their motivation after all.)
CIA posts job advertisements, and they have some independent contracting authority, but I think they usually do that sort of thing through a company owned by one of their supplemental employee retirement investment funds.
