I want to call to your attention three visible intelligence operations that were stunningly successful.
1. An entire 20 year old global political movement, Human Caused Global Warming, was brought down with the release of East Anglia University email files by the Russian intelligence service using a university server in Tomsk, Siberia.
2. The intelligence service of Dubai was publicly ridiculed as incompetent Arabs, along with exposing the Jew-hate of the Irish, French, British and a few other governments, that condemned Israel with no evidence.
3. Julian Assange apparently thought , after ten years of success, that he could publish secret intelligence information with wikileaks.org ... impervious to all secret agency reactions. So some intelligence agency got several women in Sweden to accuse Assange of rape and got prosecutors to press charges. No new posts to wikileaks since then.
Three cheers for good intelligence work.
