if my name appears on the list i want you all to know i’ll always cherish my time spent being y’all’s handler

I know Hanlon's razor and all that, but it feels like someone did it on purpose to burn/drive apart the cia and the wh.

I hadn't really considered their frothing "DEI" bullshit impeding intelligence agencies. Too bigoted to even do imperialism, what a strange world

That email is certain to be equipped with a homing device. Go ahead, boot it up. In anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes you'll have Virginia farm boys hopping around you like jackrabbits.
- Listen, folks, we know the N.O.C. list, right? Very important list, very sensitive. It’s like all the best agents, the best of the best. You have Ethan Hunt, very talented guy, tremendous skills, folks, but there’s so much at stake. We’re talking about secret identities—real spies, you know? And they don’t want this list getting out, believe me!

Reporting this is really funny because if the list wasn't a target before it certainly is a target now.
