[Night Stalker]

Uh Djinn, I was using the word 'spy' as metaphore for the entire intel community. Most nations have established intel communities, all with different cappabilities in collection (operatives, technology), analysis, and counter intel. They all have the same thing in common though. They know the information they have is valuable to everyone. Not only the actual info, but how they got it, and how fast and acuratly they can process it.

So when I was refering to the "spy's paradox", I was calling to light that those in the buisness of discovering secrets, don't like revealing them - to anyone. Their question is "How much of what to reveal and when?".

So no, you have not debunked anything. So here's your paradox .... would you have those that are in the frying pan so to speak reveal everything they know, and how they got it and forfeight their lives? I thought the whole stalling for peace thing was to prevent people from dying. But surely your desire for knowlege comes at the cost of human life. Or are some lives worth less than others?
