@AoDespair Commercial activities (drug sales) will always generate records that sporadic offensive operations (terrorism) will not. -
@AoDespair Communications needs between the groups differ, therefore M.O.s differ. This is why IC is with Apple in @AppleVsFBI.

@Snowden You can work a solid case upward, from the street. Corner boys = human intel/informants/etc. That's kinda standard cop work. -
@AoDespair Yes, but the HUMINT budget got cannibalized for SIGINT programs that do not work and drones that only work short-term. -
@AoDespair Meanwhile, our case officers spend their entire tours hanging out in the embassy instead of on the street. -
@AoDespair This isn't due to cowardice, but incentives. Human nature, at scale, prevails. Takes a lot of McNultys to overcome inertia. -
@Snowden No fan of the drone program which I fear makes more enemies than it kills. What do you think of Scott Shane's book on Al-Awlaki? -
@Snowden Real insight in how The US presumed precision in terror war merely weaponized martyrdom. - 1 more reply
