The horror!

The U.S. Government's Secret Plans to Spy for American Corporations - The Intercept

"The report recommends ‘a multi-pronged, systematic effort to gather open source and proprietary information through overt means, clandestine penetration (through physical and cyber means), and counterintelligence’ (emphasis added)[sic]. In particular, the DNI’s report envisions ‘cyber operations’ to penetrate ‘covert centers of innovation’ such as R&D facilities."

Glenn Greenwald freaks out about U.S. government efforts to steal technology from foreign sources, which is pretty much what we’ve been doing since the 18th Century.

Better late than never, we suppose.
