Vanadium 50 said:Reading this, I think people would do well to distinguish between "intelligence gathering" and "covert operations".
To be fair there are covert and clandestine missions carried out for the purpose of gathering intel. Agencies like the CIA also put spys in place to gather and even illicit information that can not be procured electronically. The NSA, from what wiki says, use no undercover operatives or infiltration missions themselves. Likely they have the CIA do it for them.
