My brother was watching tv today and he happened upon the movie Sneakers, which I admit I have not seen. But a bit of dialogue caught my ear, something pretty interesting.
GORDON
National Security Agency.
BISHOP
Ah. You're the guys I hear breathing on the
other end of my phone.
GORDON
No, that's the FBI. We're not chartered for
domestic surveillance.
BISHOP
Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments.
Set up friendly dictators.
GORDON
(smiling)
No, that's the CIA. We protect our
government's communications, we try to break
the other fella's codes. We're the good
guys, Marty.
I guess this movie is definitely a work of fiction, eh?
