"“We’re the intelligence community,” he said. “We don’t have rules. You don’t play by rules and win this game. And we don’t have emotions. We’re soldiers. If we wench a girl at night, and the orders come through to shoot her next day, we shoot. “When you’re laying your life on the line to protect the country you love, you don’t ask if what you do is fair—or even pretty. We take orders that are no more than a flick of an eyebrow, and we don’t ask questions—we get the job done. “I don’t think you know how to play that way. I don’t think you belong in the intelligence community.”"
