Bush Sr. Calls Outers of CIA Agents "Insidious Traitors"

The following are remarks by former President George H. W. Bush at the Dedication Ceremony for the George Bush Center for Intelligence (CIA), given on Apr. 26, 1999. They are hosted at the CIA website here.

"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources," he remarked. "They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors."

"We need more human intelligence," he said in 1999. "That means we need more protection for the methods we use to gather intelligence and more protection for our sources, particularly our human sources, people that are risking their lives for their country."
