Your post is very short, just two lines. You object to literally 3 lines out of 18 (short) paragraphs. (I'm not sure why you say "block quote"? I don't get what you mean by using the words "block quote".)
Yes, I do not think that the US intelligent establishment plants double agents in Israel. I do not think the CIA or NSA or what-have-you does this.
But regardless of whether they do this, I outline a logical argument for why countries should not do this, why it is morally wrong.
Most of my post makes a very simple argument: that it is a waste of resources for countries to be spying on other spy agencies. In other words, just as stated, I vehemently disagree with the GP, I disagree that it is a good use of resources to attack other countries' agencies.
Regardless, my post was at 3 Karma before being flagged. I vouched for it from my usual account and now it is still at 3 Karma. You can vouch for it by clicking on the Timestamp and clicking Vouch. If you have any follow-up questions I am happy to talk about them.
It is immoral and a waste of resources for countries to spend resources attacking other countries spy agencies. It is a good thing and a good model that California spent $0 in 2015 spying on Masscahusetts, and vice versa. it is a good thing and moral that the European Union's countries do not spy on one another, that the EU exists.
It is moral for spy agencies to exist. It is immoral for spy agencies to spy on other spy agencies.
At the moment the CIA or NSA do not have double agents in Israel.
We can discuss all of these facts if you have any follow-up quesitons. I received only upvotes (this account is at 3 or 4 karma) and encourage anyone to vouch for this comment by clicking on its time-stamp and clicking Vouch. If you have any follow-up questions I'm happy to address them. This is not a sock puppet account.
The reason I made it is that I very strongly disagree with the idea that agencies should be spending resources on waging war on other agencies.
I realize that the philosophy I express is xtremely dense, I am I am happy to continue to participate in earnest or answer any of your questions.
I repeat: it is wrong to for spy agencies to spend resources on double agents. The correct model is the fac that California last year spent $0 spying on Massachusetts.
It is moral and correct that agencies exist at all. Happy to answer any of your questions if you have some. The rason for this account, again, is to counter the idea that it is correct ofr countries to spend resources on other countries.
It isn't. It's highly wrong and immoral.
