      Good point. Bin Laden and the USSR both scared into the beyond.

      So now do we apologize to the ISI? Or does this breech not equal their breech?

      Every decade, after the "secrets" cool down, can we get a cost/benefit analysis of our intelligence services?

      So how about now the cost of the intelligence on the USSR that missed that they were crumbling while we went CRAZY on defense spending (back in the 80's) versus the benefits during this period?

      Bettin our hubris and built-in concept of "exceptionalism" attributed mightily to the moles success. So easy to convince (ourselves) that "anyone" would want to join our version of success. After all, aren't we the greatest?

      Greed has many incantations.

      In this case the idea of an instant solution to most all their problems and so a blinding greed from assumptions.

      This sounds like a version of "The Trojan Horse".

      Metaphorically a "Trojan Horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or space. It is also associated with "malware" computer programs presented as useful or harmless to induce the user to install and run them.

      Perhaps the CIA is trained by the ISI?

      And a great example of how justifiable grievances against Israel buys us hatred and costs American lives.

      Great example of how spies defeat themselves. As I say, if we could always fight wars this way, it'd be great.
