The CIA, going back to the early years of its inception in WWII recruited heavily from Ivy League schools. This elitist mentality and the arrogance associated with it has not served them well ...
100% agree. Anything infested with credentialed nit-wits coming out of the Ivy League is not going to be pursuing the interests of mainstream Americans.
Intelligence would be more competent and less prone to going out of control if it was subordinated to the armed forces and staffed by people from that background.
