which is why we don't rely 100 percent on technology.

as always, the human factor is the most important element.   the failure to 
understand and utilize "human intelligence" in addition to satellite 
technology is one major reason 9/11 went down.   and why the CIA wasn't 
sure the USSR was going out of business; why the bombings of US embassies 
in africa took place; why clinton bombed a pharmaceutical plant instead of 
a munitions factory, etc etc
