Michael Vincent Hayden (born March 17, 1945) is a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of the National Security Agency, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
A blistering critique of the forces threatening the American intelligence community, beginning with the President of the United States himself, in a time when that community’s work has never been harder or more important
In the face of a President who lobs accusations without facts, evidence, or logic, truth tellers are under attack. Meanwhile, the world order is teetering on the brink. North Korea is on the verge of having a nuclear weapon that could reach all of the United States, Russians have mastered a new form of information warfare that undercuts democracy, and the role of China in the global community remains unclear. There will always be value to experience and expertise, devotion to facts, humility in the face of complexity, and a respect for ideas, but in this moment they seem more important, and more endangered, than they’ve ever been. American Intelligence–the ultimate truth teller–has a responsibility in a post-truth world beyond merely warning of external dangers, and in The Assault on Intelligence, General Michael Hayden takes up that urgent work with profound passion, insight and authority.
It is a sobering vision. The American intelligence community is more at risk than is commonly understood, for every good reason. Civil war or societal collapse is not necessarily imminent or inevitable, but our democracy’s core structures, processes, and attitudes are under great stress. Many of the premises on which we have based our understanding of governance are now challenged, eroded, or simply gone. And we have a President in office who responds to overwhelming evidence from the intelligence community that the Russians are, by all acceptable standards of cyber conflict, in a state of outright war against us, not by leading a strong response, but by shooting the messenger.
There are fundamental changes afoot in the world and in this country. The Assault on Intelligence shows us what they are, reveals how crippled we’ve become in our capacity to address them, and points toward a series of effective responses. Because when we lose our intelligence, literally and figuratively, democracy dies.

LMAO - American Intelligence (sic) agencies have been hobbled by their own incompetence and agendas as long as they have been around. Hover wrecked the FBI and the CIA has been abysmal since its inception at the closure of the OSS.
If the directors of these assorted agencies stopped thinking they know what is best for America and started giving our Presidents FACTS, accompanied by suppositions and theories perhaps there would be less surprises.
A few exmples:
The Iraq War - Bad intel on WMD.
The 9/11 Attacks - Complete failure to recognize the threat.
The Indian Nuclear Test - Failure of Intelligence Gathering.
The Collapse of the Soviet Union - Failure to understand the signs.
The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan - Missed all the sigs and ignored the massing of troops.
The Iranian Revolution - Had been coming for years, but ignored.
The Yom Kippur War - Ignored the Soviet advisors being evacuated from Egypt.
The Tet Offensive - Plain incompetence.
The Bay of Pigs Invasion failure - Bad advice.

If Putin’s trolls are here then it’s worth to listen to.

I’m going to go far out on a limb and say - when have we not lived in “an Age of Lies”? And “truth tellers” are a very rare breed indeed.
Intelligence agencies are only successful in fiction.
