“I have read your paper with great interest, and it is brilliant; I applaud your insights as to how the problem develops and matures and your innovative solution which I hope we as a nation have the wit to implement.”

“I think you have an outstanding idea.”

“A very interesting paper. It has merit and the intelligence CI elements would be wise to explore some of the ideas.”

“I must admit that I was skeptical when I began Part Two but found the arguments for reconciliation quite compelling as I read through the paper.”

“I’ve read through Dr. Charney’s work with great interest. As a veteran of the intelligence community I’ve long felt our response to insider spying has been misguided and ineffective as a result. I think Dr. Charney’s approach is almost certain to better contain the damage insiders can do and I urge those with an interest in the intelligence area to give it serious examination.

“I found the NOIR proposal to be an interesting, insightful concept and a positive step toward the reduction of vulnerability to treachery.”

“I read your NOIR: A White Paper with intense interest. I believe you are onto a methodology that should be taken very seriously, but I also can appreciate the resistance you are probably encountering from the entrenched establishment.”

“I think that the idea is well worth pursuing. We need to engage both technological and psychological tools to deter and detect the insider spy.”

“Your White Paper carefully lays out the benefits of the NOIR proposal, and I should think that the Intelligence Community would by and large support it. Most intelligence professionals would agree that the positives far outweigh the negatives of NOIR. But then again, the apprehension, prosecution and punishment of spies is not their raison d’etre. It will be fascinating to see how law enforcement — primarily the FBI and the DOJ — react to a proposal that directly affects their livelihoods.”

“NOIR would be valuable from a counterintelligence viewpoint in that regard by conducting triage on incoming potential threats before they are allowed to become real threats.”

“Right now there are those in the Intelligence Community spying against America—and they aren’t happy people. But they continue spying because they realize there’s no way out. A NOIR would give them a way out and put a stop to the loss of classified information NOW rather than later.”

“Your idea on the option of “Reconciliation” for certain spies “not yet identified,” is a thought provoking proposition. However, as you know from past experience, it would be a hard pill for the intelligence community to swallow, let alone DOJ. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be worth taking the risk in certain special circumstances.”

“Impressed by your determination and outstanding work contribution.”

“Yours is one of the few breaths of fresh air in the CI/CE field I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been involved with that field in one way or another for over 30 years.”

“Thanks again for the work you are doing…the paper made me a believer.”
