And we should not be surprised; He made them look like idiots, and have forced them to admit things they would rather you don't even know about. The Godfather doesn't take it kindly when we mess his people....

The spooks have always had an inflated sense of ego; a couple of them thought they could get away with gaming a bunch of submariners, thinking we were too naive to catch them. They were speaking Russian while playing Pinocle.... The thinking was that if we claimed to know Russian, they would have to 'interrogate us' and we wouldn't let that happen. They only made one slight miscalc, that is we were are in the same boat, and if they were disappeared, we would all swear they never showed up, or bailed elsewhere. They couldn't just open the hatch and make a run for it.... I think they did give em a taste of "bread and water" while handcuffed to the main seawater pump for a couple of hours.

So it comes as no surprise to anyone that they don't see him as a friend.

Molly say:
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
