How true. If by bringing this up Yoshie means to make a point about how we should look unfavorably on treachery, and that we should find ways to punish and shun those who -- whether through stupidity, vanity, or crass opportunism -- act in ways that aid our common enemy, then I agree with her doubly. I am also reminded of an aphorism about the occasional, accidental accuracy of stopped clocks.
