Ed,
Your stance regarding the Edmonds affair reflects keen instincts and both the ability and the willingness to learn from history.
If indeed Ms. Edmonds is a mole (QJ/LINGUIST?) implanted deep within our extended community, then the operation supporting this penetration (Cunning Linguist?) has been handled masterfully.
To be clear: I am not suggesting that such is the case. Rather, I am commending you for maintaining a cool head and a deep political perspective.
Then again ... All of us in the Junior G-Man program must understand that the most difficult challenge before us is to differentiate between aurum and iron sulfide.
Currently I'm reserving judgment on Ms. Edmonds. But I am leaning -- noticeably -- in one direction.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
