The way a case officer becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is by using the acronym MICE. MoneyIdeology Convention (aka Blackmail)ego. During a conversation with Dr. Blake from The Martian, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly explained as "Overcome by Events".

Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “poet-spy”, described the intelligence game as a “forest of mirrors”, a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title is Greek for "little old man" and the poem is an internal monologue about the thoughts and feelings of an older man, described through the eyes of a man who lived in Europe after World War I for most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in the search for truth, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and its reflection, an illusion if you will, as if one were in a "hall of mirrors". Features The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for fans of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely amazing. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. That cast has more than enough reason to give this a try, and it’s a really good show. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and many of the actors nominated for some awards come awards season. The series follows an undercover CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his undercover life behind and return to the field with his ex-girlfriend (Waterston), whom he still loves. His love for her begins to interfere with his real life and mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.
