...WILL YOU PROVE THEM WRONG? Well, the first thing is I want to be very informed, and that means doing my research. I'm glad that my own experience working in the private sector and as head of the African bureau of the U.N. Development Program provided me with the opportunity to have a dialogue with the African leadership. In a way, they have already welcomed me, so my entrée should not be particularly difficult...

Here he seduces the viewer into looking closer, to catch the eye glint of skeptical intelligence, the interior burden that a samurai for the CIA bears with weary grace, and for reasons he may have forgotten or never known...
