It's Called A Legacy Of Ashes For A Reason
John Brennan, the director of the ironically named Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), had his personal e-mail account breached, supposedly by a 13 year-old. You might not think the personal e-mail account of a government stooge would contain much interesting information but the dummy forwarded a lot of e-mail from his CIA e-mail account! Wikileaks was good enough to post his e-mails for our amusement.
Some may find it odd that a 13 year-old could social engineer the director of the CIA. But anybody who has read Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA knows that it's titled Legacy of Ashes for a reason. The history of the CIA is the history of failure. Brennan's failure to keep his work and personal e-mail separate and no be outwitted by a 13 year-old are just another chapter in the agency's long, proud history of failing. In fact this failure isn't even a blip on the radar, which includes such gems as the Bay of Pigs Invasion.
I look forward to the dirty secrets that are gleamed from this leak and the butthurt that will inevitably emanate from neocons who will cry about this leak being damaging to national security or some other such nonsense.
