I Did My 40 Years In Washington,

I'm More Concerned With Bad Guys Who Got Out And Released Than I Am With A Few That In Fact Were Innocent.

I'm Often Asked Why I Left Politics And Went To Halliburton And I Explain That I Reached The Point Where I Was Mean-spirited, Short-tempered And Intolerant Of Those Who Disagreed With Me And They Said 'hell, You'd Make A Great Ceo', So I Went To Texas And Joined The Private Sector.

One Of The Problems We Have As A Government Is Our Inability To Keep Secrets. And It Costs Us, In Terms Of Our Relationship With Other Governments, In Terms Of The Willingness Of Other Intelligence Services To Work With Us, In Terms Of Revealing Sources And Methods. And All Of Those Elements Enter Into Some Of These Leaks.
