I would NOT want to be a CIA field operative after January 20, 2009.
As a CIA field operative, how many days notice do you have to give? Just wondering.
The problem is that there's no evidence that the CIA has any "field operatives" -- except those, like Plame, who are hiding in plain sight at foreign embassies, where everyone, including the native population, knows they're CIA.
Down, dirty, and infiltrating? Not since the '70's.
