Why would Toner be related to the CIA, and how is McCauley NSA?
Toner’s university has a long history of association with the CIA. Just google “georgetown cia” and you’ll see more than I can summarize.
As for McCauley, well, I did call this a “scenario”… The movie maker Oliver Stone rivals Chomsky as the voice of an elite political counterculture who are deadly serious in their opposition to what the American deep state gets up to, and whose ranks include former insiders who became leakers, whistleblowers, and ideological opponents of the system. When Stone, already known as a Wikileaks supporter, decided to turn his attention to NSA’s celebrity defector Edward Snowden, he ended up casting McCauley’s actor boyfriend as the star.
My hunch, my scenario, is that people associated with the agency, or formerly associated with the agency, put him forward for the role, with part of the reason being that he was already dating one of their own. What we know about her CV—robotics, geographic information systems, speaks Arabic, mentored by Alan Kay—obviously doesn’t prove anything, but it’s enough to make this scenario work, as a possibility.
