| A senior intelligence officer says that U.S. intelligence agencies are creating a new counterintelligence doctrine that will restructure counterspy agencies to focus more on offensive operations and interagency communication. In the past, the official said, the U.S. government has failed to adopt a strategic view of counterintelligence -- using spies and other intelligence techniques to stop foreign spies and terrorists. As a result, the counterintelligence community "is not organized or integrated to accomplish a national mission," leaving the United States vulnerable to foreign policy and public-influence operations, as well as the theft of government and industry secrets |

| #2 As a result, the counterintelligence community "is not organized or integrated to accomplish a national mission," leaving the United States vulnerable to foreign policy and public-influence operations, as well as the theft of government and industry secrets ... This is old news. Back in the 1980s Japanese clients would visit our thin films deposition laboratory and brazenly attempt to bring cameras into the facility with them. We knew well enough to place all unrelated supplies or charts out of view but the chutzpah of these wankers was still a bit galling. Instead of Japan, it's now China who is raping our technology. With all the money at stake, I'm obliged to wonder if there will ever be any significant repercussions for how China is routinely destroying other global economies with its artificially pegged currency, institutionalized intellectual property theft and product counterfeiting. |

| #1 That's good. It seems to me that all they did was to collect information and more information and more information. To use drugs as an example, t's great to follow the little guy to the drug kingpin - but it seemed to me that they just watched as the drugs became so entrenched that by the time they finally got to the Kingpin - the drug trade was firmly established and the neighborhoods shot, and too many addicts for it to ever go away. Just watching the bad guys and making charts about whose who in their organizations is useless if you allow the organization to establish roots in the process. |
