I really need to talk to you about beefing up our surveillance operation on the caller.

We don't have a surveillance operation on the caller. Someone just tried to blow up Times Square and you're talking about some facilitator that some detainee said seven years ago might be working with al-Qaeda?

He's the key to bin Laden.

I don't **** care about bin Laden. I care about the next attack. You're gonna start working on the American al-Qaeda cells. Protect the homeland.

Bin Laden is the one who keeps telling them to attack the homeland. If it wasn't for him, al-Qaeda would still be focused on overseas targets. If you really want to protect the homeland, you need to get bin Laden.

This guy never met bin Laden. This guy's a freelancer working on the **** Internet. Nobody's even talk to bin Laden in four years. He's out of the game. He may well even be dead. He might as well be **** dead, but you know what you're doing. You're chasing a ghost while the whole **** network grows all around you.

You just want me to nail some low-level Mullah-crack-a-dulla so you can check the box on your resume that says while you were in Pakistan you got a real terrorist. BUT THE TRUTH IS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND PAKISTAN & YOU DON'T KNOW AL-QAEDA! Either give me the team I NEED to follow this lead or the other thing you're gonna have on your resume is being the first station chief to be called before a Congressional Committee FOR SUBVERTING THE EFFORTS TO CAPTURE OR KILL Bin Laden.

You're **** out of your mind.

I need 4 techs and safe house in Rawalpindi and 4 techs and safe house in Peshawar. Either send them out, or send me back to D.C and explain to the director why you didn't.
