On March 10, 2002, CIA Director George Tenet said: ” ‘We are at war.’ ‘As for the CIA…There’s nothing we won’t do, nothing we won’t try, and no country we won’t deal with to achieve our goals.’ …We’re going to have to work with others in a way we haven’t before…Egypt, Syria, Russia…China, Pakistan, India, and Saudi Arabia.’ …’These countries are our partners now, like it or not.’ ”
