Inside the CIA

" Do you have what it takes to be -- CIA can you really assassinate zone with the tip of an umbrella. -- our government already had secret contact with aliens from outer space and other -- sexy. These questions can be answered by -- guess that's because it's time for. That's why pose questions from you the viewer to a former spy. Mike Baker about the world the secret intelligence and -- he will do his best to avoid answering every single one of them. I'm like the first I. -- element of -- in Portsmouth Virginia. Does the CIA drug test employees -- a random basis to crack down on drug usage within the agency good question. It isn't a question -- better than that they they polygraph. And and so. Employees are subjected to. Polygraph exams and you know you are expected to be able to pass those that's always a good thing. -- so yesterday there is a form of drug testing but it's a little more subtle. Here's one from Brian with a wide. Did you ever have to dress up as a woman for a secret assignment and I did it make you feel relaxed and more at one with yourself."

" Yeah have been -- trading when you first get into the agency is is cross -- I don't think they wanted -- do they do want to do active reach out and they exploit your feminine side. You know Brian -- at that that's. --"

" You know what's interesting is that one of that you -- and that's what Monty Python helpfully pick up a few weeks but I got --"

" Do they do you. Special training in disguises. And act and -- disguise isn't really interesting art it's not about putting up -- but."

" Changing our expectation in getting a -- having you know what our pain and stuff like that going to rookies and -- masks."

" I -- classes in this."

" Yet good use of the -- expectation -- I'm by the way. But yes we've got -- he's got some of the finest disguise. And and and make up artists going and and have turned in and -- Hollywood were four years and years and years ago some terrific people. In in in in in that division. Because -- important part of it and it's not it doesn't just happen in the movies there and in in blocks of -- it it it does actually happen in real life."

" Well yeah it's amazing thing is I've actually. And the product of one of the greatest to make it designers because right -- actually Chelsea handler. You you're familiar with intense interrogation. Out and who would break first. I -- drag me in the third person that clearly right. It regularly interact that you're good at getting these information bill -- or me who would break first. Cool. You know that's a very good question I'm I'm an -- actually say that. First it would be bill -- then then you. Greg. And then Andy. I think I think Andy stretches sort of person who could probably put up with a lot yeah. Despite the anti. USC yeah durables all kinds of pain and he lives -- and look what he's been through already yeah. That mirror every morning staring back in an alcohol -- sixteen cats. They come up now outfits it. If it looks different this interrogation think looking at us breathing example up. How would you -- interrogators differently based on a personality like how would you approach bill."

" Supposed to approaching at me with the approach be different. Well that not -- it is and that's a very good question because because interrogations. You know it unfortunately. Some of the things the I've got out there Abu Ghraib makes it look like it to some sort of Willy Nilly thing I think everybody's aware willingly. -- It's it's very tailored to each case is very and it's an incredibly labor intensive process you you have got -- it's it's it's like you know police interrogation you've got to walk into that room. With as much information as possible. About what you're about to talk to that -- about so you can't just show -- what you know yet if there is that there's a process there and each person is different and and despite again what the far left would say the vast majority of our actionable intelligence the AC dot. During interrogations came out of talking and developing relationships and."

" Yeah also few dates they don't mind that. I love Hawaii that's an important part as a side benefit from all of this because you don't get out much you know at the bars and so you know you think would -- This next question the interrogation facility yeah at -- those -- from -- I'm not gonna say anything but he's not thinking about working for the CIA but fortunately I've not it's built pretty boy like you. How is that to look at rates it's a good question is it better to look average and blame the -- Or look are smart and obviously -- be from the Middle East maybe it's basically -- without their betters an agent -- you."

" Went. Well you have well let's of course I I was masquerading as Chippendale dancers apparently according -- I did for a period of time. Not it is important to blend -- and and and in the matter what you're doing whether it's it says surveillance or whatever you may be out on the street. Engaged in your goal is is it is to be their pass through -- and and nobody remembers and it's like any successful operation. You know it they've they've explosions going off -- cars -- banging into each other supplements probably gone all -- so you know you you that it's a good question that he Aston and and well done view op meant."

" Yeah we'll -- that great little coffee bar up on it was that black. What disguise -- did you ever have to play somebody so impossibly ridiculous like you had to play like an Asian person. Or more or you had a guy you had to be -- up a person from Saudi -- were you able to pull that off."

" short answer yes and -- again going back to what we -- about before we disguised it as a credit to the incredibly talented people that are there at the -- that are responsible for all of that support work I mean and again I -- they -- been a collaboration with Hollywood for for years. That's really impressive but we've got some of the best technicians it is in the world and at the agency -- well we got and and about and that I thank you say --"

" That that's not true anyway thank you might always a pleasure. A wealth of information. -- a lot. That question for Mike email us at red iPods is that job router right meet -- maker in the subject line or I won't bother reading it that's just how I roll. That's a great picture of -- by the way. You never get a picture like that thanks Mike Baker -- far cry of come."
