I would like to see some factual evidence that active-duty or retired spooks are better than my late grandmother at spotting a liar. What spooks do have is, no lamer press and no this-quarter's-numbers-define-my-universe stock analysts limelighting their work. They can afford to work slowly, carefully, methodically. Being a spook doesn't prove you do do that; it means you can, if you are inclined to do so (and your bosswants you to do that). Alan Horowitz alanh@norfolk.infi.net
