Its home office in Maryland "contains what is probably the largest body of secrets ever created."

    8 June 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    I’ve also learned that all evil is perpetrated by force; and that can be physical violence or it can be intellectual violence, i.e. by deceit and deception. Lies. Lies are every bit as much a form of violence as guns, clubs and bombs because just like physical violence, lies are used to violate someone else’s free will and free (…)

He is widely known as the protégé of former U.S. Senator David Boren, who resigned from his seat in 1994, after manipulating the regents of the University of Oklahoma into naming him president. According to Time magazine, Boren and Tenet were having a “leisurely (…)
