@LALegault I read James Bamford's latest book, Spyfail, which claims to be about the decline of our IC's capability and expertise.

Instead, it's a catalog of Israeli espionage operations, against the USA, run from inside the USA. And in many cases, with the government knowing about it, and choosing not to do anything about it.

Be clear; these are operations intended to degrade our national security, and change our foreign policy in favor of Israel.

Realpolitik at work.
