According to an LATimes report:
"Beirut station is out of business," a source said, using the CIA term for its post there. The same source, who declined to be identified while speaking about a classified matter, alleged that up to a dozen CIA informants have been compromised, but U.S. officials disputed that figure.George Orwell wrote a path breaking book 1984 long before that year. The scenario was that life by that year will be fully controlled by a Big Brother. Everyone will be under scrutiny and privacy will be a fancy. While that kind of scenario has not played out on reality in general but for non-American, non-Jewish and non-British the life was like 1984 even before that year and it is so even now. No one takes US, Israel and UK for task for their chilling spy networks all over the world. May be their financial woes will make them collapse completely and one day the skeletons in their cupboards will tumble out like the Third Reich files-all left behind for reporters and historians to horrify themselves and the public.
