US capital a magnet for foreign spies
2004-09-20
Alleged spying by Taiwan and Israel indicates a broader trend, experts say: Espionage, even by 'friends,' is rising.
Interesting but long piece from the Christian Science Monitor.

The real news is that D.C. is just a decoy, Bush keeps all the important stuff in the Kinko's document scanner in Crawford.

#3  Ah, my dear gromky. What you see on the surface is but an enormous maskirovka operation. The real stuff is hidden underground in Haliburton's vast subterranean complexes. Where do you think Cheney goes when he is not out driving bulldozers?

#2  I'm not pissed...everybody spies. I'd be angry if we didn't spy, and quizzical if nobody spied on us. The only problem with the US is it's so amazingly easy to spy here.

#1  And in other news, ants are attracted to picnics...

As an aside, the Christian Science Monitor really should've spelled it 'Capitol'. Spies are drawn to capital too - it helps pay for the trenchcoats.
