CIA Employment Information
Meeting Attendees Deserve Respect
By Brendan Springstubb '05
Let me preface this letter by stating that I am a liberal,
anti-war, anti-Bush member of the student body. However, speaking
as one of the attendees of the employment presentation given
by the CIA, I was shocked and embarrassed by the irrelevant
and totally inappropriate questions being asked by students
in attendance that clearly had no intent to work for the CIA,
students such as the author of the recent article "CIA
Infiltrates Pomona College". These individuals were sadly
mistaken if the felt they were "educating" the rest
of us who were there to listen to the presentation. We have
all heard these stories before, and those of us in attendance
weren't going to suddenly realize that we hate the CIA. Furthermore,
to write and publish an article sarcastically telling other
students to congratulate those of us who attended the meeting
is insulting and incredibly childish. There are more appropriate
ways to voice your opinion than to belittle those of us who
don't share your views. Grow up.
