Indeed? Well, then, what's the point of clandestine operations in the first place, eh? We don't need secrecy at all--of course not! Inform the people of everything our intel forces are doing:
"Well, we'd just like to inform all the people that we've sent our agents over to gain intelligence on a potentially hostile power--and who
cares that our enemies are watching the same news outlets the people are! Who cares that such necessary and proper operations
require secrecy in order to work? Who cares that, in order to ensure that things go according to plan, the
less people know, the better!"
