Penn Bullock and Brandon K. Thorp · 05/19/11 03:32PMYou've probably never heard of Marty Martin. He spent most of his life as an anonymous CIA operative. But he very recently came out of the closet as the man Bush put in charge of finding Osama bin Laden in the aftermath of 9/11, and guess what? It turns out the man Bush put in charge of finding bin Laden is an extremely shady and allegedly corrupt war profiteer. Who would have thought?

At the CIA, Accidentally Kidnapping and Torturing an Innocent Guy Earns You a Promotion
John Cook · 02/09/11 01:09PMThe Associated Press' Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo have a breathtaking-but-sadly-unsurprising story detailing the CIA's habit of promoting the very people responsible for the Agency's most spectacular fuck-ups.

The guy who let a prisoner freeze to death in Afghanistan? He oversees spying operations in the Middle East.
