Or, "How the CIA got into Al-Qaeda's underpants."

While I'm sure that this sort of thing occurs more often than we realize, it's still pretty cool to think that Fleming-esque espionage is being conducted... even successfully at times.

Honestly, we're successful far more often then not. Though a great deal of that is due to the higher up's on AQ's being happy just not being on our kill list and thus helping us out.

Their top guys are always open to bribes or intimidation. Its business to them, not really war.
