At the CIA's covert training facility near Williamsburg, Virginia, commonly called "The Farm," recruits are trained in the world of espionage and the many ways to get people to provide secret information.
"We are in the head-hunting business, as we call it," Olson said.
"We have to find individuals that we can induce to cooperate equally with us to give us their secrets."
After Klyushin was arrested in Switzerland by U.S. authorities, one of the claims his lawyer made was that American intelligence officers had attempted to recruit Klyushin as a spy for the U.S. upon meeting him for the first time.
However, as Olson explained to Javers, the way that intelligence officials approach that process is far different, something that he called "the recruitment cycle."
