The article examines an alleged double standard in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) about male operatives and female operatives. In 1995 the CIA paid nearly a million dollars to over 400 women over sex discrimination. The CIA has been under fire for turning away potential recruits because of their foreign relatives. At least 25 women have complained to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission citing they are held to a higher standard concerning sexual affairs than men. INSET: Suspicious Minds.
