does anyone take US intelligence seriously any more? seems we have a fairly reliable years-long evidence trail that says it might not be worth it any more. either they're legitimately incompetent (tons of sabre-rattling about the China "threat" yet no intel operations; likely hasn't been rebuilt after China publicly executed tons of spies [quite an effective deterrent it seems]) and they're saying as much here, or they're just deflecting outrage on an external entity doing typical IC stuff, which is complete noise.
