You mean the kind that hounded the girl W got pregnant at age 19 and led to his Dad securing an illegal abortion who they hounded until she "commited suicide"?

You mean the ones that killed all the biologists shortly before and after the anthrax attack?

You mean the ones who killed Kelly in England?

Do you mean the one who recruited the people who killed Pakistani President Bhutto?

Selling hackable voting machines and illegal weapons to countries or the American gas that Hussein used on the Kurds? School of the Americas training for assassination and genocide?

Do you mean the kind that murdered the daughter of a Judge who was working on a case against the government whose files were stored in the Murrah Building in OK? Or the ones who recruited the Murrah building bombers?

What exactly do you mean by spies?
