In recounting his exploits as a field officer and later in second tier management positions, Prado delights in the prose of spy thrillers and detective novels, making more than a dozen allusions to fictional accounts of the CIA, such as the Jason Bourne/Matt Damon movie franchise. He says he intends to correct the fictional accounts, but his own overblown style tends instead to reinforce the vengeful and violent portrayals of CIA field operatives, yearning to break the wussy rules that keep them from dealing death blows to the bad guys.
