In a previous article, "C J Campbell" said:
is that poor intelligence is becoming very costly. Satellites are
predictable and are unable to loiter over an area, while drones can cover
only relatively small areas. From Desert Shield up to now we have been
basically blind in our search for WMDs, terrorist and troop concentrations,
mobile Scuds, etc.

I think Predators and Global Hawks would do a better job on almost all of
those jobs.

But what the US really needs is spies on the ground. The biggest problem
in the lead-up to Iraq is that they put too much emphasis on the tales of
one guy, who lied through his teeth trying to get the US to depose Saddam
so he could take over.

OTOH, the general theme is that lusers should not be allowed to have
computers, cars, guns or genitalia.
