Talk:Espionage

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I would wonder if William Ross should be listed as a spy. While he did briefly work for Section 31(despite his denial), he did not conduct espionage. He maneuvered Bashir into doing so, but he did not do it himself.--31dot 22:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

He was an operational part of the op to place a Starfleet operative within the Romulan Pratoriate, and WAS present on Romulus as part of that op. That's my reasoning for including him.Capt Christopher Donovan 00:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I would say that simply working for a spy agency doesn't make one a spy, even if they are involved in an operation. The CIA has many employees that are not 'spies', even though they may work on operations. It's not really a big deal to me, though.--31dot 12:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I guess the difference I was trying to point out is that Ross was actually IN the field, actively carrying out his part in the op, not just sitting in an office somewhere analyzing data or something.Capt Christopher Donovan 08:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
