Alright, maybe I'm a newb and I don't know what I'm saying, but it seems to me that when a suggestion to spy is made, and then the spying is carried out and the transaction is made, regardless of whether it is an order or a suggestion, it was condoning and supporting espionage.
Also, I like that someone who is on the same political side as Doomhouse is willing to call them out for their wrongs.
