There is simply a kind of consensus that, in conditions of global instability, countries are best placed to deal with strong intelligence. However, it is only 50 percent of the image, and the second component of this puzzle is an efficient counterintelligence system. And it is precisely this kind of debate about qualitative change in approaching counterintelligence resources that is taking place in the US. We see this through specified critical publications as James Bamford's book "Spy Fail. abroad Spies, Moles, Saboteurs, and the Collapse of America's Counterintelligence", but besides a number of media and expert comments. Why is it worth monitoring the U.S.'s conflict with evaluation and improvement of the counterintelligence system? due to the fact that all country in the West is facing akin challenges, not in the distant future, but here and now.
