…has been well described by the senior folks involved since at least 2001: * Ash Carter (SecDef) Keeping the Edge: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/keeping-edge * Michael Hayden (chief of NSA and CIA): Playing to the Edge: https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Edge-American-Intelligence-Te...
…和 Drake 很恼火，因为他们的 Thinthread 项目被砍掉了，反倒是选了一个更先进也更昂贵得多的项目（后来惨败收场）。Hayden 在他的书《Playing to the Edge》里直接反驳了他们。我知道你肯定不会把他的表态当回事，但你刚才说情报界“缺乏否认”，而他的书里全都是这种反驳。
…and Drake were upset because their Thinthread project was passed over and a much more advanced and expensive project was chosen (that later failed miserably). Hayden directly refutes them in his book "Playing to the Edge". I'm sure you won't take his statements as anything, but you said there was a "lack of denial" from the intelligence community, and his book is full of them.
