Michael R. Pompeo, secretary of state (and former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency), speaking to an audience at texas A&M University says, “When I was a cadet, what’s the cadet motto at West Point?  You will not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.  I was the CIA director.  We lied, we cheated, we stole.  We had entire training courses.  It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.”
