As I said earlier, spying on the US government is a crime in the eyes of the US government. I think many a caught spy that was convicted for espionage would disagree with your statement that it is not a crime.

Yeah I'm having trouble with that argument too. How do you reconcile "countries interact in the lawless state of nature" with high-profile espionage prosecutions of non-citizens?
