We were only allowed to use information from A1 sources. No information from anyone but the totally pure was good enough. All the others had to be cut loose. The people who are falling all over themselves either do not know the depth of damage he did to the US or they simply don't care.

And that idiot Admiral Stansfield Turner.... just loved all the technical means of “intelligence” that had ZERO clue about the actual HUMINT human intelligence of the motivations and factual affiliations of our enemies.
