Re: view from Olympus

Thanks for your Olympian view.  (End of frosty humorless radical opining.)

Actually, there do exist competing intelligence agencies deriving from the
same nation.  There is the old Gaullist spynet in Africa, which lost
government support in the late 70's, at odds with the current French agency.
Much of the problem in Chad springs from Spy vs. Spy shenanigans as these
people try to trip each other up.  Diana Johnstone has some details in a
back issue of In These Times on the Chad situation--much more background
than I have seen in the NY Times, albeit with the usual leftist biases.
