to do it.

You're pretty unfamilar with the tenants of counter-intelligence, arn't
you?

Identified spies are very rarely 'rounded up'. They are allowed to
operate, but it is insured that the information that they are transmitting
is bogus. Giving the enemy bad information is better than giving them no
information at all.

Pretty much been that way since Alexander the Great.

You assume a lot, Frank.

How do you assume the US knew ALL the spies?

Many, many lives were saved by the interment. Just like the millions of
lives saved by the atom bomb being dropped.

Frank, you really should go to New York and check out ground zero, instead
of hanging out in the last bastion of the hippies, Oregon!
