I am focusing on the value of making the project leaders suspicious that all the smart people are potentially against them.

You realise, of course, that achieving this precise effect was a lot of the point of Wikileaks.

Either you copied the wrong thing into that quotation, or I am disastrously failing to understand your point.

(For the benefit of future readers in case it was indeed a mistake and David fixes it: At the moment his comment begins with the following in a blockquote: "The current official image of Bernice Summerfield, as used on the Bernice Summerfield Inside Story book, published October 2007". Bernice Summerfield is a character in Doctor Who and not, so far as I know, in any way associated with the NSA or AGI or mentioned anywhere else in this thread.)

I'm guessing that the quoted material was actually meant to be "I am focusing on the value of making the project leaders suspicious that all the smart people are potentially against them".

You are of course quite correct. I have edited my post. Thank you :-)
