  • Acting director of National Clandestine Service is a woman in her 50s

  • Authorised decision to destroy video of brutal interrogations in Thailand

A woman has become head of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service for the first time, it emerged today.

The unnamed operative was made acting director of the service last month – evoking parallels to fictional female spies from the likes of Homeland and Zero Dark Thirty.

For the woman to be given the job permanently, however, officials may have to overlook her controversial background, which included ordering videos of alleged torture to be destroyed.

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Controversy: Mark Boal Says He Didn’t Receive Classified Info About Bin Laden

“Zero Dark Thirty” screenwriter Mark Boal did not receive classified documents from the Obama administration. That’s the word from Boal himself in a new interview with the ABC News show “Nightline.”

“I certainly did a lot of homework, but I never asked for classified material. To my knowledge I never received any,” Boal said in the interview, which is set to air on Monday night. “As far as the controversy goes — how can I put this? — it was an election year. It was real and bizarre to have major players in the Republican party characterizing the script and the movie before I had even written a word. I found that really baffling.”
