Pompeo describes his work as a loyal subordinate in a controversial administration. Sadly, his work as Director of the CIA and Sec State will be viewed through the prism of Donald Trump. Those who hate Trump will give Pompeo no credit. Others, who study the work done by Pompeo (and others in the administration) will be found to be dedicated to the service of the USA. Those who would superimpose morals and ethics on others should first consider if they are imposing different standards depending on politics, faith, or background. One should also consider that statecraft is not a science but an art. That is, 2 + 2 does not always equal 4 in the art of statecraft. Were there things done that appear odious? Well, sure. But statecraft does not include reforming the world to a subjective standard that exists nowhere. Some of Pompeo's evaluations of others sound a little snarky, and that is too bad, but also recognize the load he carried.
