A Long Line of CIA Authors
CIA reviewers are straining under the burden of having to pass judgment on books written by former employees. Anybody who wants to publish a book about the agency's operations (including former CIA Director George Tenet) must submit the manuscript to the agency's Publications Review Board, which vets the material to assess whether it contains classified information. The board now gets about 100 submissions a month from would-be authors, USA Today reports. For the entire year 2000, the agency only received 300 submissions.
