Outgoing Mossad Chief: I Did the Best I Could
(Ha'aretz) At Sunday's cabinet meeting, outgoing Mossad chief Meir Dagan summarized his term, saying, "I did the best I could." Dagan is retiring after more than 43 years of service to the state and 8 years as director of the Mossad. Dagan lauded members of the Mossad. "They are an excellent and unique group of both women and men, who act with originality and daring, who are imbued with a sense of mission, and who work unselfishly night and day." "They operate with the sole protection of their sharp wits, their cover story and their courage. They cannot even tell their loved ones about what they are doing," Dagan added. "What motivates them is the need to protect the Jewish People and the State of Israel." Dagan had first been appointed to his post by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
