  • Re: Pakistan: Afghanistan 2

    I agree that we will have a tough, tough road ahead. It will have to be a huge military, economic and social effort among the NATO forces. As a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), I was privy to hearing Michael Shuerer, former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit, say that it is ''mathematically impossible'' for us to win ...

  • Will Rahm Spy for Israel as Obama's Chief of Staff?

    This picture of Leon Panetta as a gatekeeper of intel for Clinton and in touch with all the critical top secret operations and intel shows something vitally important and sensitive about the position of chief of staff. Obama's chief of staff is Rahm Emanuel. Emanual is a likely a loyal American, but he is also a diehard supporter of Israel. And ...

  • You guys are lucky that it's not

    The US government spys on citizens of every single country online as a matter of policy. If cyber spying was an act of war, the US would have started World War 3 long ago.

  • Political Petraeus Pushes for Neo Con 'Win'

    General Petraeus is a political animal. All members of the general corps are, but Petraeus in particular subscribes to the Neo Con American global hegemonic design.

  • Doubt it

    Let's imagine for a moment that we're a foreign intelligence agency. (Or terrorist network.) We are made aware that a foreign government is intercepting our communications with our agents inside of that government's borders (technologically and geographically).

  • Dont' believe the Spy Satellite Hype.

    The main story is complete and well written, great! Scenario II: No rational link exists between what was done and what was officially said. Therefore, lets consider the irrational possibilities.

  • Ode to Bush

    Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh Dubayu, I luh-luh-luh-luh luvayou. Just like a shrub that’s in my view, You hide the truth from us, it’s true. To keep us all from feeling blue, Your spooks watch all we say and do. We’re all safer, so says you, With all our foes lined in a queue, United in hatred a-new Waiting for a chance to screw Us.
