You know, I've met a few people in the past who wanted to work for the CIA. Not especially right-wing in outlook, more like some sort of comic book conception of things, not far from the kind of Asian-Buddha-master-ninja-special-forces crank kind of person (Stephen Seagal) who collects swords on their walls, has a room dedicated as a "dojo" in their apartment, and is very much into stealthy Ninja-type crap, army surplus catalogs w/ night vision goggles, etc. There's some kind of Mission Impossible-esque world of intrigue and espionage that attracts them, not necessarily ideology or a good knowledge of world affairs.

"Who but a lunatic would want to work for the CIA in the first place? I don't consider this a trivial matter. An important part of educating the public about the nature of spycraft is informing Americans what a bunch of wackos the US employs to stir up trouble around the world. These people are demented, dangerous and should be discredited wherever possible."
