Somewhere in the SG universe, there are counterintelligence officers getting ulcers over the fact that some cowboy special ops Colonel read a high-level enemy operative into just about all of Stargate Command's secrets during the course of the command's second mission. Their drinking buddies are the operations and intelligence officers who are freaking out over the fact that their best operational intelligence source is a long-haired, crackpot, former academic civilian.
