I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.

When I came to the CIA in the mid-'90s our graduating class of case officers was unbelievably low.

Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes depression. It meets a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts that is something on which to pride yourself but poverty itself is romanticized by fools.
