"The latest example is a Sunday New York Times article trashing Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale. Hale, a Connecticut schoolteacher and graduate of Yale University, was a captain in the Continental Army when he volunteered to go behind British lines in Long Island in 1776 as a spy to gather information on British troop strength and plans. The story of his fearless patriotism and bravery in the face of death by hanging once he was discovered is one of the inspiring stories in American history. Before he was hanged by his British executioner, he was asked if he had any final words and he said, "I only regret I have but one life to lose for my country." The CIA website notes that his story "has served as an inspiration for other patriots who have entered the profession of intelligence gathering and as an example of the highest degree of commitment, honor, and the willingness to sacrifice for what you believe in.""
