U.S. targets spy services abroad
The Bush administration has adopted a new counterintelligence strategy that calls for "attacking" foreign spy services and the spy components of terrorist groups before they can strike, a senior U.S. intelligence official said yesterday. National Counterintelligence Executive Michelle Van Cleave said in a speech here that the past policy of waiting for intelligence threats to emerge "ceded the initiative to the adversary."
Why only now? We should have been doing this since sometime around September 12th, 2001...
"No longer will we wait until taking action," Miss Van Cleave said during a conference hosted by the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. "To meet the threat, U.S. counterintelligence needs to go on the offensive, which will require major but achievable changes in the way we do business."

...

The world is getting very much smaller and the threats very much larger. This makes sense - just as pre-emptive action against enemies. Screw the lot of fools stuck in 1969, bummer doods.
