The new mission for counterintelligence is to identify foreign spies and terrorist threats, and then develop "a counterintelligence doctrine of attacking foreign intelligence services systematically via strategic counterintelligence operations," Miss Van Cleave said.
The offensive counterintelligence strategy is part of the Bush administration's policy of pre-empting strategic threats. It is also part of President Bush's announced plan to promote democracy and freedom and undermine global tyranny, she said.

Wow. They are just now getting around to that?!? What's next? Are we going to hear tomorrow that we are building devices to orbit the earth and spy on our enemy's activities?

Well Colin Powell is out of office, so the leaks are harder to come by.

My personal opinion of Bill Gertz is that he sometimes makes conspiracy theorists look reserved

Reading the article, I think Gertz is saying that a decision has been made to move aggressively but covertly to contain Russia and China.

Barry Royden, a veteran CIA official, said Russian intelligence services are targeting U.S. troops in the Middle East for recruitment as agents, as well as seeking recruits among Americans in Russia.
Russian intelligence officers are using "very aggressive actions and operations," including blackmail, extortion and entrapment "to try to get people to commit espionage," Mr. Royden said.
He also said the Russians are conducting "very aggressive operations against our troops in the Middle East." He did not elaborate. Now what the heck is this about, are there Russians in Iraq?
