Agree. Does come off as if a psychopath and sociopath had a game of who can come up with the wackiest idea on how to terrorize a population. Is counter to what intelligence services are chartered to do, nudge others into thinking and acting in a manner that benefits one's nation. Agree with Lucian this took years and years however, see this misuse/abuse of assets and resources to be counter-productive in the larger scheme of things. For all the time and money spent getting there, it's a very short-term result while triggering the law of unintended consequences.
It's one thing to jam or muck w/electronics in a society or nation, it; 's quite another to turn them into weapons that terrorize, injure, maim, or kill. Not surprised Brennan got a chubby from it. Heard/saw many similar takes from here at home and abroad. Not a one who has a North Star though. They all condemned it as madness. And that includes my beloved late wife's family of Sephardic Jews and my own seeds.
My initial thought was also psychological warfare...as in, we can do this anytime, anywhere with anything. Listening to NPR this morning there was a funeral service for people killed with the pagers that was temporarily halted because of the explosion of a walkie-talkie.
I shiver at the thought of something like that happening in the United States.
Still hearing far too many former CIA and mil officers applauding the tactic of weaponizing devices that (a) are not exclusive to Hezbollah fighters and leadership (b) devices that are routinely carried while amongst the civ population, in public places, and their family homes.
