The American spymaster who built theOffice of Strategic Services in the World War and later laid the roots for the CIA wasfascinated with information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the “greatgame” of espionagespying as a “profession.” These days the Net, which has already re-madesuch everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovans vocation aswell.The latest revolution isnt simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemens e-mail.That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades.
