You may have heard about the Central Intelligence Agency. But, do you know what we really do and how we do it? The people of the CIA do very important work. They help keep our country safe. They give our leaders information so they can make good decisions.

We have a lot of different jobs here. We have analysts, doctors, lawyers, scientists, geographers, and librarians, to name just a few.

I notice they fail to mention the spies and such. They mention librarians though.

EDIT: Oh my god! The animated CIA woman is using a shoe phone! What the fuck, how lame is that?!

That's what I get for being a doofus. Anyway, I think it's positive that they're recruiting young. I'm all for getting the class lines clear at an early age. black bloc

Radicals would do well to provide easier to read pamphlets, coloring books, and web sites that could be used by teachers. Teachers are bombarded by all sorts of "resources" from corporations and Military/State agencies. To be clear: we need coloring books, videos, and comics that can be used to teach - that means no swear words!
