#8 Why didn't he go for the sub-Saharan Africa beat? Or the Caribbean? Or Brazil? He'd fit in beautifully wherever the African slave trade had gone. Or stuck with analysis, where brains matter and appearance doesn't? |

#7 WTF kind of idiot do you have to be to not comprehend that being inconspicuous is a necessary part of undercover work?! Answer: A PC idiot, since our country is so twisted, that PC more often than not trumps national security; e.g., allowing most political asylum seekers into the US from Somalia. |

#6 This... officials allegedly told him, he was "too big and black" to function effectively as a covert intelligence officer overseas. Then this... It was his job to recruit and run Farsi-speaking agents. Well f'ing DUH! Sorry guy, you are about poorly qualified to work covert in Iran as red-headed and freckled Irishman would be to work covertly in the Congo. The guy thinks he was "discriminated" against? Well, you're damn right he was - and justifiably so. Not all discrimination is illegal, sometimes its necessary - after all, its not illegal to discriminate against blind people when it comes to piloting aircraft, nor other jobs where there are physical qualifications -- and appearance is a physical qualification for covert work. Sorry there Mr Sterling, the world is what it is no matter howmuch you pretend otherwise; a large black man will draw attention in a nearly homogeneously light-skinned (Caucasian) Persian population like Iran, especially in light of how suspicious the police state there is anyway. This is the epitome of the "I'm Entitled to my own reality" liberal mindset. What a fucking idiot. I hope they put his ass in prison for a long long long time for being a spiteful idiot. |

#5 WTF kind of idiot do you have to be to not comprehend that being inconspicuous is a necessary part of undercover work?! Sterling deserves treason charges for being an idiot alone! |

#3 Maybe he WAS too big and too black to function covertly - in, say, Iran. I'm too northern European white to function there. |
