“When anticipated hostilities are a clear and present danger such as
the drug wars in the Americans, or the war on terrorism against fanatical
elements the use of non-traditional military activities should be the
legal authority for covert actions. To posit our firm resolve in advance
by covert action should be coin of the realm. “
