Draw your own conclusions.
I'm there. For me the tipping point was info on the CVs of the hit team that took him out: Nobody could have specified better candidates for the exact job that was done. I was already at "Jake is socially awkward sometimes but never did nothing mean." Then more recent reports make the debacle look too much like hostile tradecraft to ignore . This is the first time I have seen circumstantial evidence supporting my speculations about the CIA Computer Dating and Job Placement Service: A weaponized hybrid of personality & candidate matching algorithms running as agents with access to the TIA databases. Specify a mission profile and target, enter your billing code, and come back in a couple of days to read the displays, tweak the touch graphs, and make the decisions that require human attention. Viola: A covert operation that would have tied up thousands of scarce man-hours 20 years ago, reduced to a work order format while-u-wait. If the project fails, oh well, blame the computer and the "human assets" fielded, then move on. Oops. If they don't have that now, analysts in several services will forward my paranoid speculation to a suggestion box, and by this time next year... :o/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJXumU/AAoJEECU6c5XzmuqfQcH+wVawQQxUMzaV6v41P3wnuWZ HBGlYboQx513xbmrGBjt+2sgZ6SoyAk80XDGEP936/3ZtrbXBXQFnTXQxO5qrplZ wm4/mXSli43soVKsCNSgudC1E0F8d+QC+YU4UZ/ti9X2YEpzuanJro9s3DuOglZn e1lxs9K3iJ7UIXl9qoEis+RIVlcWlYohmqLwLM9bIgdKgFWAZ3P57Zn0EKUClMzx hLO3XnHZhGNSmVDpIQQNHRj+busKubkwHNUfrlmXxfsDCZeMyNJJ/zuExU2Ywk86 Dfhnsc+Jue2YA03li8Jfuwfi55QHiu1nOR8WX58aqYNlPrewxK+dYJ+K+P7+d2A= =riEX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
