"I got a little too rambunctious, like a colt that got out of the barn to play, and I pulled myself in. I didn't do it all myself. My task force lawyer was whispering like Jiminy Cricket in my ear. I probably got us a little too far forward leaning at one point in time and then pulled us back." - Alan Fiers, a C.I.A. official, on secretly aiding Nicaraguan rebels.
