Some people build international relationships through diplomacy, cultural exchange, and mutual understanding. Others do it over expensive whiskey, in poorly lit hotel bars, with people whose actual job titles are conspicuously absent from their business cards.
Welcome to the wonderful world of intelligence liaison, where yesterday's adversary is today's trusted partner, tomorrow's security concern, and occasionally all three before lunch.
This design celebrates the intelligence community's professional relationship managers—the men and women tasked with maintaining productive friendships with foreign intelligence services while carefully avoiding the inconvenient questions of who knows what, who told whom, and whether anyone bothered to tell headquarters.
From exchanging intelligence and coordinating operations to attending suspiciously elaborate dinners at government expense, the liaison officer understands that international cooperation is built on trust, mutual interests, and the unspoken understanding that everybody in the room is probably lying about something.
Because in the intelligence business, friendship is important. Verification is mandatory. And the person buying dinner is almost certainly writing a contact report.
DISCLAIMER: American Spy Corps reminds all liaison officers that sleeping with your foreign counterpart is not an approved method of strengthening bilateral relations. Unless, of course, it works. In which case, headquarters would appreciate a full report by COB Friday.
