To be honest, I don't think I could tell the difference between how they would act with ex-cia people in their ranks or without.

I don't see how content policy, adhering to privacy regulations, etc... would be different when there's facebook person or an ex-cia person.

Knowing a handful of CIA personally, one thing they've all said is "There are no "ex" CIA."

It seems to be similar to the USMC's "Once a Marine, always a Marine."

Food for thought.

Yeah and you're being such a good friend to them.

Might be true too. Yeah I think it is.

Good ole Wikipedia gate-keeping.

Insulting and emotionally charged language.

Sounds like good ol' nepotism, to me. It seems to happen in all large industries where the "watchdogs" were/are/will-be employees or contractors of those they regulate. I'm sure plenty of former/current/soon-to-be FCC lawyers are all over it, too.
