a. if he wasn't working covert in mexico, or doing intel analysis in mexico, his opinion/statements are worthless

Do you honestly believe that a CIA operative only knows what's going on in whatever corner of the globe they are operating in?

b. he has a direct, subjective reason to create a boogeyman. he creates a narrative and gains from spreading this narrative

Gains what exactly?

you have a HUGE presumption that his comments are objective and noble. the fact that he is appearing on tv implies they're neither

I just quoted a CIA agent. You just totally discounted everything he said as fantasy based on.... what? What qualifications do you or anyone else here for that matter have to where your opinion carries more water than his? If anyone is making "HUGE presumptions" it's you and anyone else who think they know more about what's going on in this world than a CIA guy.
