John Pilger interviews CIA's Duane Clarridge.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pilger

"Q: What right have you, and I mean by you, the CIA, the United States govt. or any foreign power, what right do you have to do what you do in other countries?

A: National security interest.

Q: But that's a divine right, isn't it? Because people that you do it to have no say in this?

A: Well, that's just tough. We are gonna protect ourselves, and we're gonna go on protecting ourselves, cause we end up protecting all of you, and let's not forget that. We're gonna intervene whenever it's in the national security interest to intervene, and if you don't like it, lump it."
