(Hmmm, makes you wonder...)
Despite the many gag orders that he received from his boss, he'd talk about stuff. Whenever he did, there's sure to be some feeding frenzy in the media for days.
But if there's one thing I know about my boss, he's the consummate strategist. There's nothing he said or did that he didn't calculate for days, weeks even, and he'd always achieve the effect that he was aiming for.
When I read the cables where he usually figured, I'd always laugh because definitely, the Americans read him wrong. Oh, I know they said he wasn't articulate and he always handled things badly, but they didn't know that was deliberate.
And if there's another thing I know about the strategist I served, he's a master of disguises. He's content for you to get him wrong because it's the only way he can carry out his plans. Oh yes, he was very good at it, too. Only one who's been with him day in and day out, knows when he's feinting.
