ASIO and the Feds have long had associations with the FBI... and the blank comment that 'fifteen people were arrested' in no way reflects the two charges.. only one of which relates to potential terrorism.
wow! are you some sort of secret service agent or something? How could you possibly know that law enforcement agencies in US and Australia cooperate with each other? This is top hush hush stuff.
Hardly hush hush - been common knowledge for years. No - I am not a secret service agent, and an observer need not be such to know simple realities.
Why would co-operation between Allied agencies be a secret?
It's just a press release to suggest that things have changed.. they may be more specific in the kind of information shared, but little has changed in reality.
I stunned an SAS major friend once when he gave me a copy of 'Spycatcher' - that much-advertised by Thatcher book by Peter Wright - when I said there was nothing new in it. To me, many things are just common knowledge.....
My affiliations with the spies are one interview for a job years ago... hardly a resume`...
Late Mail:- Oh - not ALL information is exchanged or shared - operational exigencies require that some information remain closed, even to Allies.
That is one of the difficulties of an international jihad against terrorism and such.
