Katharine Gun : Governments change. I work for the British people. I gather intelligence so that the government can protect the British people. I do not gather intelligence so that the government can lie to the British people.

Tony Blair : [on TV] What we know, is that Saddam has this material.

TinTin : So, you work for the British government?

Yasar Gun : What do you know about war?
Katharine Gun : I work at GCHQ.
Yasar Gun : All you do is listen to people talking! You've never seen war, you've never smelled it! Never even come close to it!
Katharine Gun : Yas, I understand why you are angry. It is my fault and I'm sorry. I am so sorry. But I watched Blair with his smug smile and his sterile speeches that tell us nothing of what it must feel like to be a child in Iraq right now. I know I'm not sorry that I tried to stop him. I'm not. I'm only sorry that I failed.
