Fred, all,

I feel the discussion is a little too depressiv here, so I'll share my 
0.02£ of prozac:

It is not always a good idea to be too far ahead of competitiors. That is 
why espionage
has been tolerated by all the powerful nations in history to some extent 
(or make me believe
that there was no inofficially sanctioned US support to the UssR's nuclear 
programs in the 50's).

Sometimes this works out (get the UssR into an arms race & outperform and 
ruin them economically), 
sometimes not (German "Friedensbewegung", you could call it an 
anti-Pershing NGO cluster, succeeded; 
ironically, most of the staff was on the payroll of a diversity of German 
and Western agencies 
who individually tried to 
   "keep somebody in there 
   a) to control and manipulate them and 
   b) because the communists have a guy in there". 
competition among agencies and lack of coordination were the key to the 
resulting defeat, 
sponsored by the tax-payer)

I see the same pattern here. And I still do not see the US losing the 
game. So please, stop being so negativ ;-)

Cheers, Markus
