i remember of a conference i attended where the spokesman was a colonel of the french intelligence services.
He started his allocution with these words:: 'our FRIENDS, the americans (as our governement say they are our friends), hold all the market of hardware design and software. As there were once the 'advocacy act' (which allows any society to ask for the gov. administrative help to got contracts [yes, the NSA is administrative help]), we can think it is very easy for our FRIENDS to bribe some ingeneers to make backdoors (hard or soft) for their intelligence services.'
the man was VERY bitter and jaleaous. I understand him (as he got only a few credits), and understand the US gov.
Why wouldn't they give them the weapons to acquire economic supremacy (more than they ever got) ?...see the echelon affair...
