I don't Ben was suggesting that uncovering a spy is not a worthwhile
topic, but that features should draw together multiple related
actions/viewpoints, which I don't think this feature does - both
newswire links in the abstract are to articles which appear on
Planestupid's website.

The article is a repost of a feature that CAAT proposed to this list:

http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-features/2005-July/thread.html#2014

but consensus then was that it should not be published, after that it
was posted to the newswire repeatedly, each time with lies about
DisarmDSEi added, and I don't think such disruptive articles - even
with clarifying comments - should be linked from features, unless to
highlight the disruption itself, if for example, the source was
discovered.

l'n'r,
Jeff
