He can't even get basic chronology right:
"After 9/11, the US intelligence community became so excited by the
possibilities of new technology and the innovations being made in the
private sector, that in 1999 they set up their own venture capital
fund, In-Q-Tel"

Er...9/11 happened in 2001. So, unless they managed to VC-fund a time
machine, he's talking bobbins.
