Exactly so. But what I got when I said the same about 200 post ago was, "You don't get it." If you and me can think it, why can't the brains trust? Truth is, in my view, intelligence chiefs one step removed from actual personal contact with interpreters and informants don't give a flying toot about the lives and fates of 'assets'. They will be nonentities from the past. As for politicians... anyone think Raab or Johnson will lose a wink over a few thousand dead nobodies?
