n.

  1. the act or practice of spying.

  2. the use of spies by a government to discover
     the military and political secrets of other nations.

  3. the use of spies by a corporation or the like to 
     acquire the plans or technical knowledge of a
     competitor: industrial espionage.

  4. the act of publicizing US war crimes that have been

I thought I should probably update the official dictionary entry.
