But at the same time I always find it hilarious when some nation gets outraged over espionage and setting up fith columns to influence some political decisions. They all do it, they all did it for ages. It's only when someone gets caught in the act that they put up a tragedy or honesty for their own population to be admired for their righteousness.
No argument. Espionage has as long a gloried history as the self-righteous breast beating that accompanies it: 'How DARE you spy on us? We're so moral that we would NEVER do that. Prepare to be spied upon...'
