Ahmet, your convoy is here.

Bill Gertz says that 200 of the CIA field officers are assigned to Iraq. And in Iraq, according to Linda Robinson and Kevin Whitelaw of US News, these agents are required to leave the Green Zone only in armor and with three cars. According to Bob Baer, the agent who was the model for George Clooney's character in Syriana: "You can't pick up an asset with three cars." Can't you see the potential Iraqi recruit lurking furtively in a doorway, praying his neighbors won't see that he's meeting an American, only to have the CIA's three-car convoy roar down the road and screech to a halt right in front of him?
