This was an outstanding presentation, and I believe if members of the intel community watched this they would fully understand that Mr. Weiner's aims of The Legacy of Ashes has been to critique and express a hope for a better and stronger intelligence service and community. As opposed to ad hominem attack the agency for its failures. I was very impressed by this lecture, and this should be linked from the CIA's History Office own response to duly defend the Agency. The book and discussion enhances our understanding of the IC.
