With shocking revelations that made headlines in papers across the country, Pulitzer-Prize-winner Tim Weiner gets at the truth behind the CIA and uncovers here why nearly every CIA Director has left the agency in worse shape than when he found it; and how these profound failures jeopardize our national security.

For the last sixty years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top-secret archives. Its mission was to know the world. When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, “a legacy of ashes.” Now Pulitzer Prize–winning author...(展开全部)

他在騙你嗎？ 根據最近的統計數據，答案是非常有可能的進行式。根據德保羅大學提姆‧柯爾教授所做的研究，大多數人（92%）承認他們曾經向情人撒謊過，或者他們至少可以在腦海中想起一次沒有對情人老實說的情況！ 去問問那些失意的單身女性，在異性身上她最想找到的是什麼，她可能會怒氣沖沖地說出兩個字：「誠實」。現代女性被情人撒點小謊、矇騙、甚至背叛的次數遠比她們願意承認的還要多，因為她們老是處於被動防範，卻不常主動出擊。而且，千萬不要因為他的表情看起來誠懇就完全信任他；也不要被身穿名牌設計師服裝的大野狼愚弄。學習ＣＩＡ是如何偵訊嫌犯，了解你的約會對象是否說出真心話。 當然，不是所有的謊言都可以相提並論。問問他一年賺多少錢，他可能會信心滿滿地告訴你：「美金六位數！」不過，年薪十萬美金從技術上而言是六位數沒錯（而且一點也不寒酸），但是距離二十五萬美金的年薪恐怕就很遙遠...(展开全部)
