※ 引述《cyp0917 (CYP0917)》之銘言： : 跟據報載及wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misty_(satellite) : George Tenet, (及前任)前CIA局長，超支持下一世代的偵察衛星Misty計畫 : 看吧!在預算這塊，其實DNI(McConnell)是有權力調整砍掉CIA很想要的這計畫(預算排擠?先挺軍方的計畫?) : George Tenet, former CIA director, have both vigorously supported successors : to Misty, despite several attempts by Senators Dianne Feinstein and John D. : Rockefeller IV to terminate the program. The primary contractor is Lockheed : Martin Space Systems. : On June 21, 2007, the Associated Press reported that Director of National : Intelligence John Michael McConnell had canceled the Misty program.

DNI還是要做點事,一千多員工可以領乾薪不做事?也沒那麼爽啦. 其實CIA和NSA都有些書在講,你要不要先看看The Puzzle Palace先? http://www.amazon.com/The-Puzzle-Palace-Intelligence-Organization/dp/0140067485 這是經典,了解美情報單位的入門必讀. 我是和Amazon賣的,不知道有沒有中譯本,不過我很早買,就沒留意是否有中譯.... --
