Sorry, I'm a light weight after two glasses of vino.

In ZDT, they are briefing Leon Paneta of the possible UBL compound and he makes some kind of uneducated comment about putting a camera in a tree near the compound.

Oh, I as watching the movie at the time I started the thread. Carry on.

I actually liked the line and thought it was perfect for the moment. IMO, it was a tongue in cheek comment and personified the theme that many people dedicate their lives to to intelligence and searching for that one minute breakthrough. It brought to light the frustration that intelligence community was feeling because of the lack of cooperation from our government, which was again personified earlier in that exchange with "I'm the motherfricker that found this place sir..."
