Men of Secrets
Outside CIA headquarters at Langley, Virginia, stands
another bronze, life-size statue, this time of Nathan
Hale, his hands bound and a noose around his neck. A
graduate of Yale, he is celebrated as America's first
`patriot spy'. He was a 21-year-old captain in George
Washington's Continental Army when he volunteered to
spy behind British lines. Captured in New York City,
he was hanged in September 1776. As he mounted the
scaffold, he is reputed to have said, `I only regret that I
have but one life to lose for my country.'
