    My first thought was: everyone in the CIA “retires” and gets “consulting” gigs with shell companies nobody has heard of.

      Yeah, but who are those shell companies working for? A big selling point in the general buyouts is, “we want people out of govt service and in the private sector where they can do thier best work!”

      I’m thinking we don’t want a bunch of freelance spies contracting to the highest bidder

        I think the joke was the shell companies are all owned by the CIA. Hence the quotes around “retires” and “consulting”.
