I read somewhere that the ‘Wonderboys' team of Rumsfeld and Cheney were once convinced that the Russians had a magic super radar that could see where our ships were, and so used this 'hunch' to continue massive investment in the Cold War when the president was trying to end it and cut spending.

Turned out we 'just’ had a family of spies right under their National ‘Security' noses for decades.

The only thing worse than doing a human’s job for them is making them do it themselves.
