    Perspective on Gina Haspel from the *other* former senior CIA Carmen! Check out Cipher Brief for Carmen Middleton's thoughts.

    Replying to @JennaMC_Laugh

    Just a few more thoughts...1. ultimately the staff of the Publication Review Board have been responsive and helpful, I don't begrudge those who work there. The process itself is broken and needs to be fixed. 2. There is no standard review process across IC, very subjective
