73. So when you join the CIA
you're not only agreeing to have your writings reviewed by the CIA for the presence of information that could jeopordize security...I'm with you on that. But you are also agreeing on top of that, to submitting any materials additionally to the White House, whichever one is in power, for the presence of any kind of information that the White House may deem to be overly critical of it's policies. For the rest of your life. You made the choice to work for the CIA at one time, and now if you want to write an editorial that any future administration may have a political disagreement with, they can stop you from publishing it, even if the CIA has cleared it. So you have no freedom of speech rights at all if you have ever worked for the CIA, and that constitutes freedom and choice.

Sorry, you just kind of lost me there.
