Is his hair really blue ? Or was that just coloring from the artist ? <| sep |> Flynn broke rules he thought were stupid . He once told me about a period he spent assigned to a C . I . A . station in Iraq , when he would sometimes sneak out of the compound without the insane required approval from C . I . A . headquarters , in Langley , Virginia . # He had technicians secretly install an Internet connection in his Pentagon office , even though it was forbidden . There was also the time he gave classified information to nato allies without approval , an incident which prompted an investigation , and a warning from superiors . During his stint as Mullen ' s intelligence chief , Flynn would often write This is bullshit ! in the margins of classified papers he was obliged to pass on to his boss , someone who saw these papers told me .
