A "golden age of SIGINT"...???

[Catfish]

If it was a golden year, then if US and England's businesses are not booming now because of their industrial espionage, when will they ever ? lol
Of course they can still spoil certain deals of other countries, when they know where to pay bakshish and bribe money.
Or they can bomb the rest of the world into oblivion and then say they are the strongest nation.

Sorry for being impolite, but then it still seems there's something going wrong, see A380/Boeing, tank deals with Saudi Arabia, british automotive industry .. maybe after all performance and science still have something to do with it ? They should not entirely depend on eavesdropping and copying. Like China.

In other words NSA and other intelligence should give a big thanks to Osama for giving them the opportunity to spy on us the ordinary civilians.

You do not really think things looked any different with some Bush or Reagan at the helm ?










Again, 'sorry' for being impolite, but this kind of 'soft' warfare (and it is nothing else) pees me off, to say at least.
