The author should have done some level of research. We don't call them [special] agents in the CIA... we call them officers. Special Agents/1811s are in the FBI, NCIS, AFOSI, CID, but a specialized skills officer serves a different purpose. It's funny that of all the things I have read, this is the one thing that irked me enough to comment. Two decades in intel and as a SOF dude will do that to a guy, I guess.
