[War] US: Hi, overseers!

[John Penta]

"Hi, overseers!"
17 April 2008
President John Williams
USA
===================
<Washington>

    "Oh, stop worrying, Nick." President Williams reassured his DNI.

    "You aren't the one due to be roasted on the Hill," Manfredi noted.

    "No, I've done it from the other side, recall? Just be honest and
open. It'll be closed sessions, so surprise them. Tell everything."

    "Everything?"

    "Everything. Be honest, be open, be candid. They want to roast you
on a gridiron, be like Saint Lawrence. Tell em you're done on this
side and they can turn you over now."

    That got a chuckle.

    "You're serious."

    "Yup. Op's blown, nothing more the Chinese can learn about it
anyway that they don't already know."

    "Yeah, but -why-?"

    "Radical openness has a virtue. You look standup, you can be
forgiven a lot. Including a fuck up or two."

    "I hope to hell you're right."

Actions:
1. Williams admin stance before the Intel Committees who'll be doing
the hearings: Radical Openness. In closed session, we spill our guts
in detail. Kill em with kindness.
