Former CIA operatives talk about careers in Intelligence

Mary Beth Long ('85) and Valerie Plame ('85) both SIA advisory board members and former CIA covert operatives spoke on Oct. 26 at the Lewis Katz Building.

[@justdoit8014]

The most intelligent interviewer ever is this guy who didn’t interrupt them for the whole interview. He is like a ghost, amazing talent.😀

[@THECOMPANY2014]

The interviewer is a genuine "spook." [Spy lingo]

And this is sound of helicopter. Not duga or woodpecker. Sound of woodpecker is more like that. And it is on every now and then.

[@ollipulkkinen8444]

I cannot know who you are.) But some or one of you are right. So called "ghosting" is one way how CIA works. Many other things/companies/and so works similarly.

8:53 -OSS is the Office of Strategic Services, not Office of Secret Security.

[@vigilantcitizen5416]

I said the same thing, makes you wonder if they are even legit. what I gathered from this interview is that our Gov. grossly squanders our money away on useless job titles to justify the ever expanding black budget.

[@chaosiscandytome]

Typical deceptive response!

[@liamniedrich6065]

This reminds me of a video I saw of an FBI officer stating that the first step of the scientific method is formulating a hypothesis. What's more baffling is someone gave her a doctorate of chemistry.

[@PeterLaSorsa]

The OSS is called the Office of Strategic Services.......remarkable she didn't even know that........intelligence officers used to come from the military in special operations not from academia.......I suspect most military special operators would have known what the OSS stood for.

[@charleswortz]

Thought the same thing.

[@justdoit8014]

Bill was probably the oldest director of the agency and President Reagan was the oldest president still to this day... it is important to know that them two were the pioneers of hiring women in the agency-Bill and President Reagan had a lot of challenges to overcome in order to make a success in ending the Cold War, specially after the unsuccessful era of Détente. President Reagan believed that Containment policy was the only strategy for finishing the Cold War and he was right.

[@valentinius62]

I wonder if you have any say in which sector you can work in? I would have loved to analyze the quality and readiness of the various military (and para-military) forces around the world and compared them to ours.

[@WilliamPrentice-em3wk]

Military analyst CIA, Leadership analyst CIA, look at the DIA - it’s kinda why they exist.

[@valentinius62]

@@WilliamPrentice-em3wk Well, I never said they didn't exist. What I asked was if you get a job with the CIA if you had any say in working in a department that specialized in military intel, as opposed to having to be assigned to something else. Like if you applied to a company and wanted to work in advertising, but they stick you in finance instead.

[@WilliamPrentice-em3wk]

@@valentinius62 I never commented on what you did or didn’t say, I just gave you an answer. All I said wast the DIA exists mainly to monitor foreign military activities. Plus, there are positions in the cia that kinda relate to what your talking abt.

[@WilliamPrentice-em3wk]

@@valentinius62 the reality is tho, those skills are easy to teach, anyone with a technical degree can be taught that and assigned to a technical post doing both jobs, saving the government money. For example, a data analyst with a math/CS/stats degree can be taught the trade and assigned to collect and compare data from different militaries and report them. You’re job would be more collecting and less comparing

Even a modest doodler can create intelligence material. Some niche political cartoon can be released and followed to see who shares and comments the most vociferously, seeing what they share in reply can tell us something as well. Even the folks offended or resistant to the joke/message is intel of some regard. Truly, every field of talent is represented.

[@designatedsurvivor984]

You can be a contractor working with the government ( no benefits long term short term more pay) or you work directly with the government but don’t get paid as much - short term- long term- you get more benefits in yearly income from 401k. With social security in retirement checks / benefits

You are insane to think these "ladys" were anything more then bait presented as low hanging fruit to compromise targets...... the fact they are able to talk about "their jobs" I think literally shows how easily manipulated people are.... the People at the CIA who actual make decisions and do the real work i.e. leading people to believe one thing when really something entirely is happening. These women really don't understand, they are the public face, they are the marketing department of the CIA, people the CIA push forward to talk , as they know nothing compromising to the CIA as they are given "fake issues" to deal with in order for them to be able to sit there and talk/think they served in the CIA thus they know what the goings on are..... The entire idea of " the interview with the spymaster" is so shallow and Padantic that they can't see the Ocean they are looking at is literally a muddy puddle.... Perception is key, as long as they think they "worked" at the CIA then who to tell them different lol People truly have no idea how good the CIA is until you realize people like this, doing interviews making the rounds, were literally hired to do so un benounced to them and the CIA merely run a program where half the people coming in are hired with the idea that they would do P/R for the CIA on top of really being there for budget reasons not because they are performing vital intelligence jobs....... these people are hired, they play spy for a few years then the CIA says go do media and relate to the world we only do good, you only did good right and we only asked you to do good so make sure you make that your thru line .......
