Many of its officers are not above currying favor with their superiors and sometimes compound their mistakes by trying to cover them up. According to Defector Vladimir Kuzichkin, this most secretive of organizations has had its share of minor security lapses.

The Lebanese invasion unquestionably did not have the unanimous consent of earlier conflicts. But Timerman mistakes a significant opposition for national disgust with the war and the government.
