Some years ago there was a "Intelexit" campaign to try persuading
agency staff to quit. Problem with convincing the most morally
upstanding people get out is - who does that leave behind? I'm not
sure bad crowds can be changed from the inside, because you'd have a
hard time smuggling a truly sceptical mind past indoc, but an
optimistic take is you could see this as an opportunity to change
things for the better.

In contrast, if people refuse to work for rogue agencies, it has real and immediate effects. First, it increases staffing costs as the pool of immoral prospects is heavily in demand from the private sector. This means funds that could have gone to other rogue agencies must go to this one. Second, it reduces the quality of output as competence and morality tend to be correlated.
