Don't know if you saw the interview, but Keating is quoted as saying intelligence services are run by nutters. I don't think he means that at all.
Intelligence services are naturally paranoid; its their job to think and prepare for worse case senario. It is a politicians job to analyse what they say and take it into account when developing policy. It is not their job to follow advise to the letter.
So I believe the "nutters running things" Keating was referring to was the spineless politicians who have let our security services direct policy.
ASIO IS run by absolute NUTTERS, they are the Puppets of the Lib-Nats Coalition.
They could find the difference between their arses and their elbows without a medical expert to tell them.
When I was 16 I was an ardent Shortwave Radio Listener and would receive QSL cards ( Confirmation of Report for receiving Radio Programme/s) from Radio Stations all over the world.
A number of times I sent reception reports to Radio Moscow and received QSL cards, letters and magazines, etc, in return, nothing overt/covertly political what-so-ever BUT for 3 weeks solid I was followed everywhere by 2 men in dark suits driving an 'unconspicuous' (LOL) BLACK Holden who turned out be, after being challenged by my father and I together, A.S.I.O. Operatives.
