AFAIK, no insider is writing successful books about the other service's secret operation teams. Perhaps that indicates poorer psych screening, or perhaps it's just bad luck that he became a UDT rather than a Ranger. markmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-421633664425355172014-08-22T06:09:58.223-04:002014-08-22T06:09:58.223-04:00Tam

As you'll know both Foggy-bottom and The Circus (SIS) are actually franchise operations of Yasenevo (SVR/CBP). Only the FSB is still at Lubyanka. (although as Robin says, most of SIS are actually sub-contractors employed by Riyadh).<br /><br />Please try to keep up ;-pAblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109723804885979128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-48801014189467104362014-08-22T01:14:38.090-04:002014-08-22T01:14:38.090-04:00Is that room-temperature IQ in degrees Kelvin?Is that room-temperature IQ in degrees Kelvin?Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720409839023747889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-24183523118141702292014-08-21T18:59:14.398-04:002014-08-21T18:59:14.398-04:00The reality is that Foggy Bottom is a wholly-owned...The reality is that Foggy Bottom is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the House of Saud.Cincinnatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424218376882403880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-7569234599686524352014-08-21T16:02:28.697-04:002014-08-21T16:02:28.697-04:00"I wouldn't tell a CNN or NBC reporter hi..."I wouldn't tell a CNN or NBC reporter his own debit card PIN for fear he'd leak it just to get the scoop."<br /><br />No, tell him in the faint hope that he'll learn a lesson.Rick Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-13949675515982460762014-08-21T15:54:00.472-04:002014-08-21T15:54:00.472-04:00State was probably told that Spec.
