Espionage is everywhere - political, industrial, military, etc.
Counter-espionage (counterintelligence) is BIG BUSINESS these days. |

| Brits are to prude to assasinate anyone. They would rather invite them to tea then dual them. |

It was us that did it, but only at the request of America. We use each other to spy in our own countries to get round laws (ie. it may be illegal for Mi5 to tap anyone's phone they feel like in the UK, but there is no law stopping America doing it!!!)

Well we tried to get Gaddaffi, anyway, I dont think political assasinations are that ethical or useful. It seems a common cultural thing with Americans to view individuals as the problem (like in films). They think they are fighting Saddam or bin Laden but they aren't! They are fighting groups who happen to have them as leaders...take em out and someone just steps into their place |

I wouldn't go that far. I think we can all agree that the UN can be extremely ineffective at times, and that does need to be addressed, but Annan is far from an idiot. |
