* Said that President Clinton 'couldn't care less' about the CIA and sent the 'most hurtful snub' by sending Hillary to an agent's funeral in his place
* Praised Al Gore's 'sophisticated' understanding of the CIA as compared to President George W. Bush's 'zero experience'

A new book by one of the CIA’s top lawyers has exposed decades-old secrets of the nation’s spy agency, telling his unfiltered thoughts on various presidents, the controversial waterboarding tapes and their back-door deals with Hollywood stars who wanted to trade secrets for cocaine.

John Rizzo became publicly well known in 2007 when the Bush administration nominated him to be the General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency, but his nomination was blocked because of his approval of waterboarding.

Much of his book, Company Man: Thirty Years of Controversy and Crisis in the CIA, tells the previously-guarded tales of clandestine operations including their frequent partnerships with Hollywood stars.
