The CIA As Economic Spy: 1992 The Misuse of U.S. Intelligence After the Cold War by Stanley Kober Stanley Kober is an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. (are you familiar with the CATO insitute, kindo Ayn Rand, that daughter of St Petersburg, built on some 100,000 bones) cato.org In an earlier interview with Time, Gates had insisted that although the CIA would "not do commercial spying," the agency could "be helpful on economic intelligence, by identifying foreign governments that are involved in unfair practices," including cases "where they are colluding with businesses in their country to the disadvantage of the U.S."(3) -- Most participants embraced the logic expressed earlier by former CIA director Stansfield Turner, who told the committee that economics "is a primary area of intelligence in the 1990s."

John Danforth (R-Mo.) echoed those sentiments, contending, "Economic intelligence is going to be increasingly important to our country."(5) etc,etc
