a good intelligence officer
a suspicions mind
a love of complexity and detail,
are the very qualities of
someone you've been observing.

when a lie masquerades as the truth.
And then deal with it efficiently,
dispassionately.
Don't give anyone time to think.
You set the tone of the discussion.
And quickly come to the point."
