Quotation of the Day for June 4, 2017



"If an intelligence service cannot insert its own agent within a highly sensitive target, the alternative is to recruit somebody who is already there. You might find someone who is inside but is not quite at the right spot for access to the information you need. Or you might find someone just beginning a career which will eventually lead to his employment in the target. But the main thing is that he is a qualified and 'cleared' insider. He is, as we say, 'in place.'"

- Allen Dulles, spymaster, in "The Craft of Intelligence".
