Why do they keep referring to this guy as a "stoner"? What he smokes doesn't seem to be at all related to what he's done.

This is the New York Post we're dealing with. To play their own game, one can refer to the fear-mongering, Murdoch-owned paper as a "rag."

I am assuming based on this -He explained “CWA” stood for “Crackas With Attitude,” which he said referred to him and a classmate with whom he smokes pot.- The NY Post went for a dramatic title. But I could be wrong. The NY Post is known for such "wild titles" for attention.

I've sort of taken it as the NYP's attempt to shame the head of the CIA even further.

Because it's the New York Post; it makes for a good click-baity headline.

A bad reference to all these stories along the lines of "The Feds can't hire good hackers because they all have smoked weed" maybe?

It still has stoner in the URL. I was wondering the same thing. This is American journalism we are talking about, there are no standards anymore.
