Don't think we are not supplying false information to our enemies today, luring them into traps, forcing them to expose key plans and materials prematurely.
Reagan was dedicated to the defeat of the Soviet Union long before he became President. He merely continued that effort with brillance and more tools at his disposal.
George W Bush realized the lack of human intelligence that led to 9/11. While no public statement has been made (that would be foolish), we are in the process of infiltrating our enemies and placing operatives close to the command centers.
There is no question about that. I'm glad that we don't find out about these things for many years (if ever) and I thank God for those Americans who toil in anonymity as they secretly protect our nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

A recent terrorist trial, and conviction, of an Islamic terrorists in New York City brought out the extent to which police have infiltrated Moslem communities in order to uncover terrorist plots. While most of this counter-terrorist activity within Moslem communities is kept secret, enough information has leaked out to make it clear that it's no accident that the United States has not suffered another terrorist attack since September 11, 2001.
There is an extensive informant network within Moslem communities all over the United States. The FBI was pleasantly surprised right after September 11, 2001, by the number of calls they got from American Moslems, reporting suspicious events in their communities, or volunteering to keep an eye on things. It turned out that there was a substantial number of American Moslems, most of them recent immigrants (legal and illegal) that were pro al Qaeda. These attitudes had been causing distress among American Moslems since the 1990s. There had been violence, and even some murders, as the Islamic radicals tried to take control of Mosques, and other Moslem immigrant organizations.
