MR LAX
Well you see my problem with that answer is that you've told us in your own words that you would discuss each piece of information, to verify the truthfulness of it before you reported it.  So it's not about need-to-know, it's about taking your sources, your intelligence that you get and making, verifying it amongst yourselves before you give a report.  Those were the words you used, no-one put those words in your mouth.  You understand?  Anyway, carry on Mr Koopedi.
