I would like to merge Covert cell and Sleeper cell into this article, which covers the subject in more detail, with the exception of the history in covert cell. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 14:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I think its fine the way it is. I enjoyed reading it in its current form, Dividing up seems like nothing but an attempt to make it more complicated to get all the relevant info. make the article longer and more detailed along with a more informative introduction paragraph if anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.96.243 (talk) 11:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
In section Support Services, the Useful Idiots link redirects to the republican party page (link of of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiots, instead of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot). That needs to be fixed please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esmaralda (talk • contribs) 17:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I think the article relies too heavily on the past Soviet intelligence organisation and to lesser extent CIA. Is there a way to include examples and practices of other countries? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.48.107.240 (talk) 16:35, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
I am a CIA Operative with Clandestine experience and spy work from missions overseas. I have been actively doing most of my lifetime's work over the past ten years. I have never heard of any of the material mentioned in this article and it all sounds like dubious misinformation. My reading of this article is that it will give comfort and morale to terrorist organizations that either 1) believe they are getting true insights into goofy formal organizational processes or 2) believe they are seeing some frail attempts at misinformation, which is the more likely case. I don't think many civilians will even believe the stuff here, or if they do, they should still be sentient enough to wonder why it is posted openly on the Internet in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The big problem with misinformation campaigns like this is that enthusiastic recruits really study all of this public stuff sincerely and deeply because they really are gung ho and they want to get a good start to a great career by learning everything in the public knowledge about the CIA before they join so that they can be considered a good recruit when they apply for duty. In reality, the public should know the most important characteristic of a recruit is the willingness to volunteer to serve the CIA - the training a field agent gets can provide all the rest. Recruits get disappointed and discouraged when they find out they worked hard to memorize publically released material which is bogus and misleading. It convinces them that the Company is full of liars, and that is not precisely the case, since falsehoods should never be indulged in wantonly in violation of strict ethical rules. I'll post my code names here in case anybody wants to discuss the ethical issues surrounding modern revised orthodox leaky espionage theory. "h" - Britain, "Leviathan" - France, "Mr. Taco" - China, "667" - Russia, "g" and "Zero" - International. I'm called "Montgomery," "Priest," and "16." These remarks were reviewed and approved by 'Frank' on 12 August 2010 from within D Department. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.97.159.47 (talk) 00:14, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
