[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 9674238, member: 7026617"] Yeah, but when you get into the guts of it, its really hard to believe some of the people running some aspects of those can be taken seriously on that given what they're doing. Some of the field agents and other mid-to-lower level types, on the other hand, can think that in good faith because what they're doing is, well, fighting monsters and its pretty clear what they're doing on a zoomed in view is hard to read as anything but benign. They don't have to ignore other parts of the individual Convocations because their work is so siloed they just don't know about it. Its when they start getting higher up in the organization this requires progressively more cognitive dissonance. With conventional stereotypical spy agencies of the era that inspires them, that was hard to do even at the bottom for too long. [/QUOTE]
