CIA Evolution

Ann Louise Bardach interviewed former spymaster E. Howard Hunt on Slate. She talks to him about the Bay of Pigs and Che. But what I found most interesting was this small exchange:


Slate: What led you to leave the CIA?

Hunt: I found out the CIA was just infested with Democrats. I retired in '70. I got out as soon as I could. I wrote several books immediately thereafter.


I'm not all that familiar with the make-up of the CIA these days, but shall we venture to guess that it's no longer "infested with Democrats?"
