Authors claim CIA costs wasteful and personnel heavy
Victor Marchetti and John D Marks argue the federal government spends about 86 billion yearly on intelligence and covert actions. They contend the CIA employs tens of thousands beyond its authorized 18,500 and that hundreds of millions are funded through private channels. They describe a secrecy cult guarding actions from public view and cite alleged lies about CIA involvement in events from the Bay of Pigs to Indonesia.
