Author doesn't seem to know what the difference between a sigint organization NSA/GCHQ and a Humint one is or even what the difference between an officer and a spy is.

Both GCHQ and NSA can point to successes as can all the major players in the spy game would Stalin have got the bomb so quickly without spies. Or the success of the XX committee. Or from the other side the Cambridge 5 where certainly effective.

And do you think binladen would not have been found and killed if it wasn't for spies run by CIA officers?
