If you're talking about the sleeper agent, he says something along the lines of, "You're too late, we're already here." and "We know all about you, Jack Harkness, and Torchwood." My impression was that the invasion had already begun, and Beth and co. weren't so much sleeper agents collecting intelligence as sleeper soldiers waiting for the war to begin.
Not sure that's what you were referring to, though, so if I'm wrong, sorry!
I think Torchwood is supposed to be a top secret organization more akin to the NSA as described by Stephen King than a public investigatory office like the FBI. Torchwood does seem to have a lot of advertising for a supposedly black-ops organization, though. :-)
