James Woolsey, Ex-CIA-Director, said in his highly entertaining rant
(at http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB95326824311657269.htm)
> 95% of U.S. economic intelligence comes from open sources.
...
>"Most European technology just isn't worth our stealing... Get serious,

(and lots of glowing stuff about why US economic policies are based on
Adam Smith, while Europe's use Jean-Baptise Colbert)

95% from open sources?  That's why we need the Statist Government to
spend billions of dollars gathering the other 5%, instead of letting
private enterprise do the job and collect more of the information they want?

                                Thanks!
