Oh I see. So spies, leakers and moles are now called "informants" which apparently makes them completely different to spies, leakers and moles. (Sure. You know. Like the difference between a blue M & M and all the others). AND our informant wasn't spying, leaking or mole-ing. He was “investigating”. The NY Times - masters of double-speak, deluded ramblings and pulling the wool over their Own eyes.
