We'd brought up a wafer fab in the Hsinchu Scientific Park in Taiwan before - so we weren't strangers to the concerns about industrial espionage. Several of us have done a lot of work with the government and we'd manufactured some very sensitive products (as does the current business).

My apology is really around the fact that at the time we were trusting that such programs would not exist here (this was before explained Echelon to us), and that the US didn't work that way. I was naive and I was wrong.
