WHY ARE SECRET AGENTS AND POLITICIANS IN CONFLICT
Keywords:
Secret Agents, Politicians, Misunderstandings, Conflicts, Intelligence FailuresAbstract
There are few numbers of politicians that understand the severity of intelligence work.To order gathering certain information for them is the same as a routine procurement of any other kinds of goods in a store. They are in fact ‘consumers’, with some differences, and they are not often capable of articulating their demands adequately. Because of those inarticulate or unreal demands on one side, impossibility of secret agents to meet certain demands or unsatisfactory answers on the other, conflicts and misunderstandings between political participants and secret agents are most common and then secret agents finally become ‘consumer goods’.
In the work there are some other aspects of cause and effect of that kind of relationships which can be ‘ideal’ only for those people who are not informed.
