I think that, in the end, the military behavior and intelligence services are not very different from each other. It's an attitude of hunters; they're observing the prey.

I tried for years to get an agent because I was told you needed an agent. The agent-hunting process was grim indeed.

It is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come to conduct espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you. Give them instructions and care for them. Thus doubled agents are recruited and used.

I was an intelligence officer, not a policy-maker.

The morale when I came in was not the best. It was because the agency had not been valued.

While the recent addition of the National Guard providing a support role manning computers and cameras has allowed more Border Patrol agents to work the field, more agents are still needed.

There was a point in time when I was in dire need of changing the way the model agency was working.

I have considered the subject of missions nearly a year and have found my mind gradually tending to a deep conviction that it is my duty personally to engage in this service.

In fact, I had previously helped train one of the FBI agents who searched my apartment.

Intelligence services exist to do things that are illegal abroad. They exist to tell lies.
