MixedThe Guardian... [a] combative and entertaining demolition job ... The CIA has a useful expression, \'limited hangout\'. When caught you own up to the bare minimum and hide the rest. Given the nature of an organisation based on deception and self-regard, it is inevitable that Weiner\'s exposé, from quoted agency sources, contains its share of limited hangout. There\'s little mention here of the agency\'s involvement with drugs, for instance. What this otherwise interesting account doesn\'t address is the discrepancy between the extent of sheer criminal enterprise available and the fact that these men were agents on government salaries, which must have resulted in much temptation and extracurricular enterprise not admitted here.
