well, thanks to your career writing in the magazines you used to write for, all the well edited articles I happenstance read over my life. And my "adult education" reading memoir books of the ex intel community (CIA ex, FBI ex's) books, and all the great YouTube channels which interview the ex career intel community retired pros.
SpyTalk is just incredible for sharing such good info.
Thankyou again.
I buy at least 1/2 the books SpyTalk reviews, and advance order them also.
Understanding this world is an acquired reading endeavor, I highly recommend.
(I enjoyed your book Jeff, of the Vietnam war incident death of the legitimately traitorous NVA spy's war death/murder, the detailed circumstances which happen due to cover/fog of war is always relevant. Authorizing legally the "rules of engagement" just recurs and recurs, and needs moral clarity discussing, and the smart who get into the field, run into this everyday. Praise to you smart persons who understand all this and report on this.)
I loved, sorry to butt in, the "leap of faith" jump of this woman to all our benefit, GO INTO a police/governmental role as her career.
I've concluded that we need more smarties like her to take that "leap of faith" and I extend my gratitude to her, and to YOU, Jeff Stein, for your career covering the intel commumity.
"we" need this community, and I applaud all who take the "leap" to get into it, whichever beneficial level they all take.
I'm so happy to see really smart persons take the "leap of faith" into US govnt jobs, and police work.
It's a conclusion to my undereducated layman's life, that society really benefits from the smarties getting over into jobs that help us all.
Thanks to all the SpyTalk contributors, and all the incredible history behind all the intel world.
I love and am a late in life, retired now, layman, sucker for just the excellent ex CIA people's style of clear, to the point, writing.
Thankyou all. (Love this blog, and happy subscriber, thanks Jeff Stein for this substack, it's just excellent.)
Thanks, Chuck. A good part of what helps SpyTalk succeed as well as it has is benefitting from the comments of thoughtful readers like yourself.

So happy to see this article. Thank you!
Thanks much. Question: Was it the subject—Ms. Weiner—or the kind of article you liked?
Both. I have a similar life path to Ms. Weiner and also, I enjoy your informative writing. It's seems easy to learn from your perspectives.
