Quote by Louis Freeh

Collecting intelligence information is like trying to drink water out of a fire hydrant. You know, in hindsight It's great. The problem is there's a million dots at the time.

Collecting intelligence information is like trying to drink

Summary

This quote suggests that gathering intelligence can be overwhelming due to the vast amount of information available. The comparison with trying to drink water from a fire hydrant implies that the volume of intelligence is excessive and difficult to process in the moment. While it may seem beneficial in hindsight, the challenge lies in connecting the numerous "dots" or pieces of information to form a clear understanding. Overall, the quote underscores the complexity and abundance of intelligence-gathering activities.

I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I'm dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They're nowhere. I know they're nowhere and they don't exist, but if nowhere means that's where they are, that's where I want to be.
