"Mr. President, you will never find a more dedicated, hardworking, patriotic, decent group of Americans... Everyday, they perform their mission, selflessly and silently, so that their fellow Americans may continue to live in freedom and safety."

George J. Tenet, former Director of Central Intelligence
