But what good does it do?

"Oh look, the bad guys are spying on our people, what can we do?"

"Stop them!"

"We can't!"

"Ok, let's spy on them too then!"

If this seems like a logical conversation then change "spy on" to "rape" and see if it still makes sense.

They're doing that now... bit too late.. But who's going to believe they needed a nuke to blast a few flies?
