I would also like to point out that this is a violation of the Yulai convention to arrest Scope employees, they are simply doing their job, not any form of espionage.

I'm clueless about the law here, but if they're being detained for questioning, there should be some kinda cause. Let's have a charge of some clear break with the espionage act in question to show this isn't just some strongarm tactic.

Let's put it on the table, DED.

...until concrete evidence is found that supports their assertion that the ' Interstellar Corporate Espionage Act YC36' was breached, what they are doing now is shutting down freedom of speech.

Not signed.
Damn gallenteans must learn where their place is.

I am happy that their "freedom" won't save their arrogant *beep*.

As one so devoted to the security of The State, i am disappointed you cannot see the bigger picture here. If the Drifters are not dealt with there will be no State to defend. I would personally consider any citizen who does not support a cause pivotal to The States survival to be a traitor. Barring that, if the Drifters wipe us out first, it would take away all your future chances to terrorize the Gallente. Can we really have that?

The madwoman is not known for anything save her single-minded, frothing hatred of Gallente.

As for the topic at hand, while I honestly don't believe the Scope staff are guilty of espionage, this is indeed a legal matter that CONCORD has every right to pursue. That said, my opinion of Eifyr and Co and the DED continues to sink with every day. How long have they had this message? How long have they been failing to act against the Tyrannos, or to disclose their findings with the only group capable of assisting the DED? While we of course have no right to this information, the DED is clearly failing to employ the resources at their disposal through their reticence.

Sometimes, the badly think out or hasty intervention can be of greater harm than good. Hiding something very dangerous from you, would mean protecting you from it. Until you are ready to confront it, it must remain hidden.

While i would have generally agreed with your sentiments in the past, the fact here is that CONCORD, the DED and any other groups that had access to this information have done absolutely nothing to prepare for this and have gone so far as to prevent anyone else from doing so. Even if they had, a threat of this magnitude is not something these entities can contain without the unified assistance of not only capsuleers, but of all citizens in New Eden. We have seen the destructive power of the Drifters and we have seen their efforts to scan our defenses, there is some incredibly sketchy leadership going on in the DED if they think the public had no right to know of the giant doomsday wielding armada at their doorstep.

I would even go as far as to speculate that CONCORD and the DED may have been compromised. Capsuleers have been the only ones to stand up to the threat thus-far. Perhaps it is us who should be wielding the power here.

Power? How this power was protecting you from Drifters, when you are attacking them? How many capsuleers don't accept DED and CONCORD advices? Was it really a good for those capsuleers not to respect them? I have a serious doubts.
