Lie and Deny says it all! Every INTEL officer is trained, if he hoped to survive his missions, to lie and deny almost instinctively. He knows that all of the doubts in the world in the world do not add up to a single fact. Half-truths may save him, but whole truths lead to torture, betrayal, prosecution, imprisonment, and death. It cannot be otherwise because every mission, indeed every deception, must begin with and exists by virtue of lies and necessary denials.
