EXCLUSIVE: Bush administration to release tapes that could incriminate Iraq.
Jan. 31 The Bush administration is preparing to release supersensitive electronic intercepts obtained by the National Security Agency that officials say prove that Iraq has repeatedly lied to United Nations inspectors, plotted among themselves about how to conceal weapons material and even appeared to boast afterward at their success in doing so, NEWSWEEK has learned.

I love the fact that we have the capability to obtain information like this. On another note compromising a bug could be better than compromising an agent. But compromising a bug could also mean we compromise an agent at the same time. Hope we somehow do neither.

You are assuming that Eleanor (LET ME FINISH) Clift has a MIND to actually change!!! To me, she is a MINDLESS SHREW!

Could it be that the bug and/or agent(s) were already compromised somehow, so that no further harm could be done by releasing the info obtained?

Bush shows his brilliance once again.
He's going to condemn the Iraqis using their own words, and by extension, he's going to defang the Stalinist fruitcakes as well.
Brilliant once again, Mr. Bush!

Not sure if I follow you exactly but the information has to be extremely recent so I would assume if the 'bug' has already been compromised we probably wouldnt have gotten the info in the first place. But if 'it' was somehow compromised even more recently, then I hope if 'it' was an agent that he/she got out OK.

"Sonofabich, I cannot believe that we are about to reveal sources and methods to the very people who would kill to get ahold of this information. I hope DIRNSA presents a bill to Congress for the billions of dollars spent to develop these vital assests, because in one fell swoop all of them will be gone."
What's "gone," exactly? The NSA listening posts are located across the globe. Everyone knows about them. There are, in this case, no intelligence assets on the ground to worry about. By revealing these transcripts, the only thing we're admitting is that Echelon... works.

How horribly painful it must be for the oh-so-sophisticated America haters to discover they've been taken in by Uncle Saddam's three-card Monte game.
Too bad they won't learn a single thing from the lesson.

Some people still think Jonathon Pollard and Jimmy Carter should be forgiven, even though they dont know why they are so adamently hated by certain factions.
I am not interested in the proof or method, I await the next name to consign to hell.
WHO?
To: Reactionary
the only thing we're admitting is that Echelon ...Echelon?
A simple pair of clip-leads across the old 'twisted pair' (POTS line) and a tape recorder and you're in the game ...
Attach those clips leads to a low-power (enough to get the job done) spread-spectrum transmitter (s-p-r-e-a-d the RF energy out enough so too much *never* appears in one place) and you can make the 'listening post' unmanned ... make it look like pole-top/ine equipment (embedded say, in a splice or something similar) and ...

Don't believe everything you read. Time is not necessarily reliable--particularly when Isikoff writes the story. I believe it was him who started the lie that the Czech government had denied they had photos of Atta and the Iraqi.
