...analysis-calling the world as the agency sees it, whatever the conflicts with Administration policy. Other officials feel that the agency should tailor its reports to the decision-making needs of the President. Casey was seen by some as reflecting this view. When a CIA report failed to detect the degree of Soviet influence over worldwide terrorism that the White House is convinced exists, for example, Casey ordered the study to be redone, and then redone again...
...match a brand-new U.S. spy plane, the TR-1, that went into service last week; its cameras from an altitude of some 80,000 feet can draw a picture of enemy movements 200 miles beyond a battlefield. Though the Soviets have more submarines, the U.S. can easily detect where they are?whereas the Soviets, so far as is known, have never tracked even one of the 2,000 voyages that U.S. missile-firing submarines have made, some of them very close to the U.S.S.R.'s shores. In sum, the Soviets are not ten feet tall, nor are American forces...

But he maintained that the process, difficult for Iraqi technicians, would be easy to detect, especially since sealed, French-installed cameras would be monitoring the complex...
...Desert, and a carefully selected group of the most talented Israeli pilots practiced their bombing runs until, in the words of one high-ranking officer, they knew "every tree and house" along their eventual attack route. Despite the scope of the rehearsals, the U.S. says that it did not detect the operation, either by satellite or other means.

However, the first batches of 75 light, agile F-16 fighters, ordered from the U.S. in August 1977, had arrived in Israel. The Israeli Air Force...
...little. It is more likely that he has trusted others too much (as he trusted John Lindsay, whom he supported for mayor, and who later turned his back). And it is possible that people have affection for Koch not because he is a wised-up sucker, but because they detect that he is a sucker still, quite unwised-up, just -like a great many New Yorkers who are no-nonsense on the outside and mush within...
