On the contrary Larry, the USA's intelligence technology is quite
remarkable, but it takes remarkable humans to interpret the myriad
information and to sort what's important from what's merely a
distraction...
I have seen (some of) it in action, and the difference in results
between a painstaking operator and one who is overwhelmed by all the
data is what makes success or failure.
