Note: Even if you're a government agency, if an employee claims to be a CIA secret agent you should probably let them pay their salary: EPA's leading expert on climate change and highest paid employee convicted on fraud charges for claiming to be a CIA agent:
To explain his long absences, Beale told agency officials -- including McCarthy -- that he was engaged in intelligence work for the CIA, either at agency headquarters or in Pakistan. At one point he claimed to be urgently needed in Pakistan because the Taliban was torturing his CIA replacement, according to Sullivan.
And, yeah, there's the appropriate pull-quotes of hand-wringing about "how did we not have oversight for this?", but... yeesh.
