Peace Corps is not working in any countries which are targets of US military attacks. They do work in some countries where local politicians scapegoat the US.

It works out OK, because volunteers are not conducting espionage inside government ministries, they are doing things like teaching classes on how to dig better toilets. It seems to take an American or a European to be so paranoid that even this can be cast as a sinister activity.

The possibility that their governments would do something as underhanded as hide a person with ulterior motive inside a humanitarian organization is not irrational.
