With people they felt were smarter. Q and a, former secretary of defense and former director of the cia robert gates discusses his book. He has served under several president s, most recently, george w. Bush and barack obama. At the at the end of the cold war, i came to believe very strongly that the American People had given the cia a pass on a lot of things because of this exit essential conflict with the soviet union. I believe that after the end of the cold war, we would have to be more open about what we did and why we did it and even to extent, how we did it to help the American People better understand why intelligence was important to the government and to president s and why president s valued it.
