The Devil’s advocate or crying wolf? You decide

In response to yesterday’s blog post a reader sent me the link below. It is a thought provoking article on how intelligence agencies need a devil’s advocate to challenge conventional wisdom or the establishment viewpoint.

I thought that this is somewhat like employing someone to do the job of crying wolf and having that as his job description. But who knows – this may be useful in the world of espionage and intelligence.

Read the article and decide for yourself. Link is below. Enjoy:
