where the secrets are kept… Duffy and Nowosielski name names and
hold people to account. If only our government had the courage to
do the same.”

committed to its own impunity… Has any government agency, anywhere,
been as successful as the modern CIA in avoiding accountability for
its grotesque failures and abuses, including grave violations of
human rights?”

“Compelling, informative, and authoritative.”

unpunished masters of elaborate deception, wielding secrecy as the
main weapon.”

read.”
