Top intelligence leaders talking

It struck me recently amidst my online newspaper reading I'd seen short items by retired senior intelligence agency leaders: an Israeli from Mossad:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...be-stupid.html , the soon to retire FBI Director (USA):http://www.time.com/time/nation/arti...#ixzz1Lb1H7hA1 and today the British SIS (MI6):http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/b...mavericks.html

All are in the mainstream media, so I am sure a strong element of "spin" is present, sometimes such interviews can help outsiders understand.

The ex-Mossad Director's comments have led to many articles and I've used just one.
