Too many CIA Informants are being captured, killed or compromised...

 

"...informants who are discovered by adversarial intelligence services are not arrested, but instead are turned into double agents... Pakistanis have been particularly effective in this sphere..."https://t.co/k7Zn1wfayx

I think its a culture thing. We (Americans) are loud, stick out like sore thumbs, dress in anything but the local garb (we can't even blend in when it comes to different regions of our own country) and did I say loud? Additionally (again a culture thing), we push the fighting for freedom thing hard but I have to wonder how many of these informants are true believers in the American way (ie...we can help them achieve their goals inside their country) or is it simply a cash grab to make it to the West? 

Maybe we need a division of labor with MI-6. We handle the technical intel stuff thru the NSA, DIA, and CIA. They handle the man in the loop stuff. Doing that on the ground James Bond shit (chill out CIA Direct Action guys...you still get to be pipe hitters but they seemingly handle of informants better...at least from the outside).
