Sat technology has been greatly exagerated and it can't cover every area of the world at once. Signals intelligence works but communication technology that the Taliban used was curtailed after Bin Laden smartened up and stopped using sat radios and long range UHF/VHF and went to a courier system.

Its kind of funny that you talk about Missad, as they've formed a relationship with the Pakistani ISI and mostly depend on them to gather information in Afghanistan.
