Nothing surprising
which had exactly the same tips and tricks as the NSA/GCHQ gave to their own agents
Why does that surprise you? At least some of the jihadis were trained originally as part of our benevolent assistance to the "freedom fighters" (quotes intended) in ex-USSR border conflicts by the same people and using the same manual. That sounded as a jolly good idea in the days when they need this to avoid the FSB so they can bomb the Moscow subway, hijack 1000+ hostages in a Moscow theater, hijack a bus a week 40 more in Rostov-na-Don or use pregnant women as human shields. Because, according to some warped minds in 3 letter/number agencies, that was somehow advancing our interests.
Well, today they are using the same training and the same manuals on us. Nothing surprising really - you do not train or feed a rabid dog. It is rabid. It will bite you regardless of how much you have fed or trained it.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
