promoted...

"I left for two reasons. The first is that I lost faith in the clandestine service when I was told to go down the hall and "case officer" another case officer (meaning lie, cheat, steal, do what it takes to bring back the answer I want), and Ted Price, then director of the Career Management Service, decided he wanted to run me out of the agency; I found a home in the Directorate of Intelligence and could have beat him had it ever come to an Employee Review Panel, which it did not, because the USMC asked me to come back and build the Marine Corps Intelligence Center from scratch and that was a two grade promotion as well as a chance to do it right, so I jumped."
