US unready for rising threat of 'moles' | csmonitor.com: "Because the US has reached such lone, superpower status, government officials say, at least 90 countries - in addition to Al Qaeda - are attempting to steal some of the nation's most sacred secrets.

It's not only foes, like members of terror groups or nations that are adversaries of the US, but friends as well.

Others running close behind: Cuba, Pakistan, and India."
