Another salient quote in the article:

Former NSA counterintelligence officer John R. Schindler, who previously advanced some valuable insights about the OPM hack on his own blog, wrote a hefty piece for the Daily Beast on Monday in which he argues “China’s hack just wrecked American espionage.”

“China’s hack just wrecked American espionage.”

“China’s hack just wrecked American espionage.”

Obama wrecked American espionage.

The doctor that gave us bin Laden is still in a Pakistani jail. We haven't done a thing for him.

“Armed with very private information about the personal lives of millions of security clearance holders, foreign intelligence services can blackmail and coerce vulnerable officials,”

Years ago that was the reason they wouldn't give security clearance to gays.

Just the other day I saw a picture on the internet of a group of men from the State Department who were celebrating their gayness. I wondered at the time why they were publicizing it. By making it public information they can't be blackmailed. About being gay anyway.

If, however, they were smart enough to make some of their operatives disappear electronically, then it isn’t.

Nothing at all wrong with paper files and filing cabinets.
