Some time last week, I watch an interview on Fox with half an ear, so I cannot ID the man but got the impression he was formerly associated with the CIA. He related a meeting with his station chief and a representative of perhaps the FBI and/or NSA. The supposed purpose was to discuss strategy to combat smuggling of submarines and other high tech terrorist threats. At one point, the station chief's attention seemed to return to the room and he began a rant about how the focus of his people was going to be on video piracy and other forms of copywrite infringement. The men at the meeting were stunned and the interviewee related that one of the FBI been threw a screaming fit outside when the meeting was over.

The interviewer was the light weight anchor who does duty during the day..sorry..he has never impressed me enough for me to know his name. I thought for sure that Brit or Tony would develop the story but if they did, I missed it. Perhaps they found holes in the ex-agents credibility but I haven't heard a thing about it since.

I also caught that interview as I worked in the kitchen and listened with half an ear. The name was not familiar to me and the interviewer seemed stunned that they were focusing on CD and VIDEO being copied. I remember the 'agent' said agents removed themselves from the meeting in anger after the notice.

Thanks for posting this. I've mentioned it to several family and friends. It's one of so many interesting tid bits that run once and are never heard again. I was kinda hoping that O'Reilly would pick up on this.
