I think that's taken from an ABC News interview way back in 2001, with a little bit of a modern update.
A few years back he was one of the guys a GCHQ that had a concience. For this he was given more red tape than an ISO9001.
He was involved in a pretty cloak & dagger department, but he was very open about it. However, saying that, he was actually working towards a good aim, he would repeatedly, publically dismiss reports (eg, by BBC Radio 4) because they used a specific subset of respondants, as opposed to an open forum.
He left Secretariat in '94, some say he was pushed, his carrer, sadly, was downhill from there in.
At one time he was quoted as saying “You simply can't do that. You have to have it one way or the other. And if, as governments consistently say when the politicians probe on this issue or when the media inquire, that there's really nothing to worry about, then okay, let's see all the data.” I don't think he'd of been in support of the whole WoMD thing, but that's another can of worms.
But yea, we're open to alien invasion, but it's more likely at this stage that we'll be invaded by Lebanon. IMO only.
