You should read "See No Evil" the book upon which the movie is based. I started reading it after seeing the film and it's fascinating.They don't spell it out in the movie but the CIA turning on Clooney's character is, I believe, a nod to the thrust of the book which is that the modern CIA is more concerned with political correctness, politics and technology than it is to their human resources. Basically he was considered a has been and a pain in the ass from the old days.
When he was waiting to talk to the (I assume) Condi Rice based character you could overhear them laughing at the idea that doing great work in Beruit in the 80's meant anything and later he was in trouble for having told her a truth that condradicted what she wanted to hear (or at least what the CIA wanted her to hear).
Not saying it was reality but I thought his being turned on made sense in the movie.
Still, I found the movie highly plausible as a sketch of how things really work/happen (though I freely admit my political leanings - which are more anti runaway corporate power than "left" per se - left me predisposed to do so).
I really liked Proof. Haven't found more than a couple of people who felt the same way.
