Author Who Sued CIA to Publish Memoir

Via UPI.

The memoirs of a former CIA official, who sued the agency for the right to publish about its first training class after Sept. 11, will be out this month.

Thomas Waters is one of the 150,000 people who applied to join the agency in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 suicide hijackings, and one of the 100 or so of them who were admitted to the CIA Directorate of Operations training program in what he says was the largest, most diverse class in its history.

He left the CIA after two years for what his lawyer later said were "unrelated family reasons," and is now an intelligence contractor with the Department of Defense.
