Intelligence

Imagination is but another name for super intelligence.

Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence.

George Tenet has been the director of central intelligence since 1997, time enough to have changed the Agency's culture. He has failed. He should go.

Our men and women in uniform deserve the best intelligence possible to help them protect America.

It doesn't matter that Bush scares the hell out of me. What matters is that he scares the hell out of a lot of very important people in Washington who can't speak out, in the military, in the intelligence community.

If you look back today over the last 25 years, it is a fact that we have had a progressive degeneration of our intelligence community in general; in particular in the field of human intelligence.

Dr. Rice's record on Iraq gives me great concern. In her public statements she clearly overstated and exaggerated the intelligence concerning Iraq before the war in order to support the President's decision to initiate military action against Iraq.

There are unknown forces in nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her, without reserve, she lends them to us; she shows us these forms, which our watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect.

We will have to continue to improve our human intelligence system-something that was, unfortunately, lacking in the years which led up to September 11. This is going to be a continuing process of change.

Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process.

I believe that reforming our intelligence community is one of the most important things that we can do in order to ensure that our country is in fact safer, stronger and wiser.

I certainly believe that improving our intelligence is of important national interest.

I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context.

I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.

When a decision is made to go to war based on intelligence, it is a fateful decision. It has ramifications and impacts way beyond the current months and years.

Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.

Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.

One of the indictments of civilizations is that happiness and intelligence are so rarely found in the same person.

To educate the intelligence is to expand the horizon of its wants and desires.
