CSIS has fun ?

CSIS is Canada’s spy agency much like the CIA in America. Today I read an article outlying a funny investigation that CSIS conducted on the correspondence between Conservative MP Bob Dechert and a Chinese reporter named Shi Rong who works for Xinhua. The Chinese news agency Xinhua is “widely suspected by western intelligence agencies of having links to China's spy services”. This is the reason why CSIS did the investigation in the first place. The Canadian Press obtained the documents under the Access to Information Act.

Examples of the email correspondence represent an innocent friendly relationship and nothing threatening national security. On lookers did not understand the sarcasm between the MP and reporter. This is an example of a weak communication channel. If the comments were made in person people would understand the sarcasm. Instead the government most likely spent $30,000 dollars investigating a long chain of emails that looked like this …. 

"You are so beautiful. I really like the picture of you by the water with your cheeks puffed. That look is so cute. I love it when you do that. Now, I miss you even more," wrote Dechert in an email sent on April 17, 2010.
