Neocon, surely you've been around long enough to take "expert" advice with a grain of salt. Intelligence agencies are notoriously wonky. There is something about the mindset of dominance heirarchy enthusiasts which is blinding to rationality. Even those not blinded know to shut up, keep their head down, and do as they are told.

There is self-censorship galore in such organisations. Some of it is just mindless chanting of the party line, which is not even censorship as the chanter doesn't realize they are doing it. They believe, strongly. Others chant in the interests of their own benefits, censoring any doubts they might have.

I wouldn't fancy the chances of anyone in King George II's court who deigned to suggest that everyone was off on a wild goose chase based on hearsay evidence, and that they should all get something else more useful to do. They would probably be given a new job as clerical assistant to the under-secretary for the ambassador to Mauritius, or maybe somewhere less pleasant.

"Privy to information" giggle... those retarded-development 12 year old boys love their secret clubs. "Methods of analysis" ... hahaha... like techniques of looking at photos - "First, hold it up the right way. Put on reading glasses..."
