It's a taken-for-granted principle of intelligence that you keep sources-and the facts that would expose them-SECRET, as long as forever, and maybe a day or two after that.
HOWEVER: Intelligence service (every bit as honorable as military service, even if never known) cannot (and never COULD) contend with a DOMESTIC enemy. For that, they rely on the diligence and patriotism of the people, and the INTEGRITY AND LOYALTY of the OPPOSITION!
SO WHEN: The domestic enemy threatens the republic in a far more significant way than the FOREIGN enemies, the intelligence battle becomes nearly impossible.

Who's "Looking Out" for "the FOLKS", Bill? Don't even BOTHER to insult us with your answer... |
