intelligence agencies

watched a movie about the carlos (aka jackal), infamous terrorist. what really impressed me is how intelligence agencies play their game, how they know everything and how it seems to ordinary people that they don't really exist.
and really, i know they did their share in past happenings on balkans, and they have their (big) share in all the wars and crisis around the globe, but still, when someone mentions them, people just watch him with one eyebrow lifted.

it's quite similar to farting, in a strange way. we all know and accept that people around us are farting (as opposite to knowing and not accepting the existence and action of intelligence agencies) but when they actually fart, and we got caught in gas-area, we are unprepared, as if we didn't expect it to happen. in intelligence agencies work, when it happen we don't even believe it's them who are moving the pawns... just as we wouldn't believe that person next to us farted, and would blame someone else.

i know it's kinda strange example, maybe even totally wrong, but (in a way) that's the best way to describe it...

so, beware... who knows who's listening, watching and recording around us.
