Amazing remote video surveillance job! Intelligence agencies accomplish
similarly amazing remote covert video surveillance jobs around the world, but we
never hear about them.

It was widely reported that Iraqi intelligence's 1998 discovery of a US covert
video surveillance system--installed using the cover of UN weapons
inspectors--was what prompted Saddam Hussein to kick them all out.

This led to an escalation of events leading to an undeclared war costing
hundreds of Billions of US tax dollars and tens of thousands of lives.
Historians will debate whether it was all worth it.
