Body of Lies
2008 · Film · 128 min
Directed by Ridley Scott
The CIA’s hunt is on for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agency’s man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. An eye in the sky – a satellite link – watches Ferris. At the other end of that real-time link is the CIA’s Ed Hoffman, strategizing events from thousands of miles away. And as Ferris nears the target, he discovers trust can be just as dangerous as it is necessary for survival.

I'm reminded by the character Russell Crowe portrayed in the film Body of Lies when he reminded DiCaprio's character that "no one is innocent in this shit, Ferris." before he declined his job offer.
The movie Body of Lies showed some clever counter-surveillance tricks like in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeciZ5_hFTY
Probably not realistic but thought provoking still.
I always think of this quote from the movie, "Body of Lies":
"Our enemy has realized that they are fighting guys from the future. Now, ahem, it is as brilliant as it is infuriating. If you live like it's the past, and you behave like it's the past then guys from the future find it very hard to see you. If you throw away your cell phone, shut down your e-mail pass all your instructions face-to-face, hand-to-hand turn your back on technology and just disappear into the crowd"
Anybody remember the movie Body of Lies? Would be interesting to feed the insurgents a different video feed from what is actually be used.
