I have a slightly different take on Greenwald's analysis here.
The CIA looks for people with psychopathic tendencies. Mind you, they do not want actual psychopaths, the two are very different and the actual psychopaths are typically reserved for leadership roles.
Back to my point, the CIA actively looks to recruit those with psychopathic tendencies, especially case officers but not exclusive to case officers. They want people with flexible morals that crave the responsibility of doing jobs that other people find morally objectionable.
There's an advantage to actively reaching out to the mentally ill of society. Show me a leftist who is obsessed with race, gender and sexual orientation and i'll show you someone who is morally flexible and who desperately wants power over others.
Perhaps all of these wars over the last decades, Cuba, were all meant to bring in their foreign special purpose CIA operatives. The "Firm" is mighty large with inhumane people; perhaps that was the purpose, bring in the killers for the American culling.
Maybe the CIA shouldn't hire people with mental illness.

Glen Greenwald earned my respect long ago for his intellect and articulation.
He takes no, and wants no, special treatment for any other aspect of his private life.
I typically just read his posts on Twitter and don't watch the video to avoid that.
How did mental illness become a badge of honor?
Humans of CIA? CIS-gendered isn’t a human.

Glen Greenwald, the umpire, balls and strikes. Bravo.
They are called clowns for good reason.....
