I was going to ask you actually, from the historical perspective, how major a development is this if you go back over the long period that you reviewed in your recent book?

Yeah.

So I think you touched on some of this in your introductory comments.

So, you know, Japan had, uh, very capable security services prior to 1945.

One can say notorious with the Tokko Kenpeitai and with the Nakano School training up the military intelligence officers.

Also, at that time, you had the Peace Preservation Law, which was introduced in 1925.

And as a reaction against that, when you have the post-war situation, the democratization of Japan, you have the elimination of much of those security capabilities, which of, of course, was a good thing.

So would you like to say something about what is the scale of the challenge there for Japan, as also as it relates to these public opinion concerns?
