因自我意识而有心当特工的人是福也是祸。安抚得好,他会随时响应、积极行动、专心投入。但是一旦开始了安抚,你就无法停止:他会要这要那,喜怒无常,强人所难。自我意识是人类最强大的驱动因素,而且就像俄国人十分清楚的那样,它包含了性在其中,他们这么多年来在俄罗斯国内和国外对目标设置了大量色情陷阱。
A case officer also looks for prospects among individuals who seem to be in search of an ego, their spirits stamped flat by purges, cultural revolutions or protracted tax investigations (a favorite tactic of today's Kremlin). In the late 70s, one agent with abysmal self-esteem and a nervous disposition was told (falsely) by his case officer that his intel tidbits had been reported to the White House to rave reviews. His shriveled ego flowered: He now had people who counted on him and admired him! That's all it took for the meek little man to ignore his fears and begin bringing out classified documents─all in the belief that he was personally spying for Jimmy Carter, God help him.
情报官员也会在那些看似正在寻找自我的人中间挖掘潜在的特工,他们的精神由于清洗、文化革命或旷日持久的税收调查(克里姆林宫(Kremlin)如今最喜欢用的一种手段)而被践踏摧毁。在1970年代末期,情报官员告知(其实是误报)一名自尊心极强而且有神经质的特工他的零碎情报已经报告给了白宫(White House),受到高度评价。他心中凋谢的自我意识绽放了:现在有人仰仗他、赏识他了!仅此一点就让这个性情温顺的小个子男人不顾心中的恐惧,开始搞出机密文件──深信他是亲手在为吉米•卡特(Jimmy Carter)刺探情报。上帝保佑!
