Yes.
I've been told the same thing. Moreover, I believe the quotation, not
because of the source of confirmation, but because it fits right into the
direction most of the intelligence agencies have been taking since the
revelation that the French had won out a multi-billion $ contract for air
traffic control because the French service had, through various espionage
methods, determined the U.S. bidding position and such.
Sorry I can't give attributation for the confirmation.
