Shayler did put the lives of agents working inside terrorist groups like the IRA at risk though and he should have taken more care not to give out any information that would jepordise security operations like the infiltration of terrorist groups!

One person's terrorist is another person's "freedom fighter". Terrorism exists only because the powerful rich countries screw the poor countries and have done so for centuries. If Britain had not invaded Ireland in the first place many moons ago, there would have been no IRA and no "terrorism". If the industrially advanced nations were not trying to control and dominate Middle Eastern and Central Asian oil resources and the price of oil, there would be no Osama bin laden or Al Quaeda.

"Military intelligence" is a contradiction in terms. Shaylor should have gone further and exposed all British agents along with their dirty, cowardly deeds. The greatest service he could have performed to humankind would have been to to hand over a complete list of these "intlleignece" scumbags to the freedom fighters they are spying on.
