I sure hope you have enough space for the huddled masses of Afghanistan in your house since an awful lot of them are "informants".
- rbanffy 16y agoIf you can't protect you informants, don't have them.
- elblanco 16y agoI guess we could just conduct WWII style carpet bombings against civilian population centers instead. Or do you not understand the purpose of using informants?
- rbanffy 16y agoI do. I also know that a handler has responsibilities towards them. And that's why the handler should never disclose personal data on the informant. If you can't trust the analysts down your chain, you can't protect your sources and, ultimately, yourself.
- elblanco 16y agoSince you've brought up handlers, I now know that you actually do not understand how informants work.
