Just off the highway to Annapolis, Maryland, is an exit for farm country near the Chesapeake Bay. Long winding roads finally lead to an unmarked, paved driveway; and at the end of it, a white, Cape Cod-style farmhouse circled by hay fields. The doorbell is answered by Jim Woolsey, former director of the CIA and veteran security expert who has worked on both sides of the political aisle, with appointments in the Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton administrations; and most recently, on the presidential campaign of Republican John McCain.
從去往馬里蘭州首府安納波利斯（Annapolis）的高速路上下來，這個出口通向切薩皮克灣（Chesapeake Bay）附近的村莊。蜿蜒曲折的道路盡頭，是一條不起眼的車道；而在車道的盡頭，則矗立著一幢被草垛環繞的白色科德角風格（Cape Cod）的農舍。應門的是吉姆•伍爾西（Jim Woolsey），他是中央情報局（CIA）的前主管，也是曾經爲民主黨和共和黨服務過的經驗豐富的安全專家，歷經卡特、里根、布希以及柯林頓歷任總統；而現在，則是共和黨人約翰•馬侃（John McCain）的總統競選團隊成員。
