Why am I not surprised. Well over a decade ago I was told by a former officer in the Army Intelligence Corp that members of the unit were regularly and openly recruited by the CIA - and no one did anything about it. I have to admit I was astonished about this. Even if this was Blighty's supposed closest ally, it is still a foreign power, and allowing members of the armed forces to become CIA assets is fundamentally espionage and punishable under the law.
In my view, this will have been duplicated in every NATO member. And that the governments know it. Germany is now showing its complete disenchantment with the US.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
