#1 "The enemy encrypts everything."
Encrypt it with what? Commercially available encryption is a joke. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm not overly concerned with Al-Qaeda finding refuge in CyberSpace.

#2 Commercially available encryption is a joke.

Spend your days cracking PGP messages, do you? And do you believe that someone, somewhere, is cracking EVERY PGP message sent?

They also use steganography, which is secure enough that you may not even be aware there's a message PRESENT.

#4 "Commercially available encryption is a joke."

Nope. The cheapest stuff, if used improperly, is easily broken, but there are plenty of items that are well-nigh unbreakable that anyone can use. Heck, there are companies that will sell you one-time pad CDs. That's absolutely unbreakable (unless your pointy-haired boss decides to reuse the CD to save money).
