* Even at the supersecret NSA, R9 had enjoyed a reputation for being especially “black,” specializing in “truly spooky stuff.”
* Nothing written here indicates that the U.S. government, where I worked as an intelligence officer, acknowledges either the validity or U.S. employment of techniques described in public documents such as Russian-language textbooks.
