I was amazed they offered him the consulting role and full retirement, although I suspect that the 'polygraph' clause might have been the real offer, lure him into that to get evidence then charge him and cancel the deal. You can see the military mindset though. Once he identified the CIA as the enemy his mission was to use his abilities to crush them, to the point where he rejected a good deal in favour of fighting 'to the end'. Their only choice is to end it roughly, which is why it's almost always the default option.
