#4 RD dear, you flatter me inordinately. One of these days you'll notice the rose-coloured glasses you're wearing, and there will go my aura, like the rosy-fingered dawn. (extra points for the reference, for you literary types who haven't yet gone to bed!) |

#2 Don't you know? We only release the ones that have turned to our side. Pass the word. (sarc - I think) |

#1 I'd consider this even better news if it had disclosed how many have already been released. It doesn't matter. Once they've been picked up and processed (no doubt getting fingerprinted and a DNA reference sample taken), they can be added to that "friends and family" computer program we've been building since the invasion, the one that teases out relationships and connections. Which means that their mere existence serves to put in ever bolder relief the truly bad guys. Plus it makes all of them realize they aren't really fooling anybody, which leads to nervousness, distrust of comrades, and the kind of stupid errors that get bad guys killed. Unless, in my ignorance, I'm idealizing things again. |
