       @AnthonyDavis apparently what happened was that we had begun using an internet-based system for communicating with assets that had been originally been developed for use in the middle east. but the Chinese proved a little more tech savvy and combined with some level of penetration of our intelligence services they were able to compromise the system and basically over a period of months arrest, interrogate, and execute the entire american intelligence apparatus in china
