An interesting question.

Is it wise for retired agents to publish their accomplishments from the past? Presumably if it does not endanger current activities there could be a positive spin off. Just think of the paranoia and chaos engendered by revelations of spectacular successes among those targeted. Continually looking over their shoulders and wondering who is a spy and what are they are doing is a great way to engage in psychological warfare. The idea is to induce a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty and keep adversaries off balance.
