after we go through the initial orientation i was the desk officer for yemen.quarters in langley. i'm supporting our station, cia headquarters in yemen. so that was my first job. one of the biggest challenges while i was there was fighting the bureaucracy. when i was in afghanistan, i managed undercover operations. and i felt like there were rules and regulations that we were having to use to do our jobs that were preventing us from protecting ourselves and doing the job that we were trained to do. and so fighting the bureaucracy in kabul, fighting the bureaucracy back in langley was an incredible challenge. and in the end we won. because, you know, we knew -- i had the right experience, background and enough to get that done. it was a great experience. because guess what, that is what i'm doing here. most of my responsibility is a representative of this area is to fight the bureaucracy for those who need the bureaucracy fought. it's that simple. and it was a great -- it was a great lesson. it was a great challenge. for me when i learned in the cia is it's filled with, you know, g

so the station chief sent a cable to cia headquarters in langley, virginia, saying this man approached me. and, by the way, i reproduce this cable in the book so you can read it for yourself. but the bottom line is that the cia headquarters said it might be a trap. the kgb often sent people to send notes like this and make approaches, and it was sometimes a real trap. so headquarters said don't respond. in the note tolkachev had proposed another meeting. headquarters said don't go, don't do it. well, tolkachev didn't give up. in the next few months, about once a month, he kept trying. he kept finding that car, going up, giving notes, saying i'd like to talk to you, but the cia station chief said i can't do it, no, and ignored him. and then the last time in may of 1977 tolkachev was so mad, he had a package. and he went up and he banged on the hood of the cia man's car, and cia man refused to talk to him. long story short, in the next few months the cia finally realized this guy is probably not the kgb, maybe we ought to find out what he's trying to tell us. and they began in 1979 an es

and said i have to vote on this in three weeks and i said show me everything you have at the cia in langleynd it was with over an hour-long meeting even they could -- they were emphatic about it there is no enthusiasm for what they were showing me. not only the bad evidence they were showing me but the lack of body language and enthusiasm, i night was a hoax. there's another reason, it is certainly not wmd. downing street memo and other evidence supports that. >> in your experience, how many senators bring that kind of initiative to a question like that? >> not enough. >> i can tell you i never heard of it. >> you were in the senate a long time. i take my work seriously, especially war. i came through the vietnam era and to think we are getting back in to another quagmire, all the veteran -- not only the costs and deaths but the veterans, post traumatic stress that go on for decades and we just finished that with the vietnam era and now back in. i wanted to do my due diligence and work carefully to make a good decision. now we're going forward. that's what is important. that was a mistake a

langley is cia so economic sabotage as well as our safety.t is ultimate one-two punch here. >> well, absolutely charles trying to gain any and every tactical advantage to beat us economically but potentially have a advantage militarily as you call it espionage or terrorism i think it is a combination of the two. and we have to be more proactive problem with the federal government is they're not a good stewart of our money. number two, when it comes to doing advance technological projects they're so big and cumbersome and slow they haven't been able to react to the changing -- changing technology when it comes to cybersecurity. and that's then throwing good dollars out. bad dollars after bad dollars that's a problem. >> and lisa, one of the things that this jao report is complaining that they can't compete against the private sector. i don't know where you are on this. but i just think that they continue to drag their feet. there's a lack of communication between all of the security forces, by the way, we know going back to 9/11 this is one of

let's not forget that you know, secretary powell did go langley three days and went through the intelligence this is not just our intelligence. we had a number of different intelligence, when we went to the security council, we did not get a veto from the russians and they understood that there was a strong likelihood that saddam hussein had chemical and biological agents. and and that, and as somebody who has been in saddam's 300 room subterranean bunker, that even our most powerful weapons did not penetrate and i walked down in the dark with a flashlight and saw all of the chemical bio suits and gloves and everything around there. you know, you can, you often, you know, i often speculate, what was there. was there anything ever. what was he telling his leadership, and you know, thee regime elites have a very sort of cloistered sort of circle of people that they deal with. okay. there's a lot of show. there's a lot of sort of, there are a lot of mirages that the regimes have to construct in order to continue to exert authority over their regime members and then also the larger public. so, y
