“‘What you see, in the average group of 15 kids, is some who are reasonably well informed [about the CIA], who have looked at the Web page, who have actually tried to figure us out a little,’ [Dave Carey, the CIA’s executive director,] says. ‘And then there are those who think it is going to be 007.’”
