I think there is something fundamental missing here, everyone tries to put such ideals and unrealistic expectations onto our "heroes". THey're not larger than life, they're not greater than we are, they're just people performing a function, they happen to be quite good at it but that's besides the point. They are there to earn a living, in your daily life there are continously people pushing the boundaries of legalities and over stepping those boundary lines.
It comes down to human nature, we will sacrifice what we need to along the route to getting what we need/want, you can justify it to yourself however you like but every one of you has done something not quite right and not quite correct during the course of living your life. The only difference is you weren't caught and bust on TV in the most over-policed activity of all. Living in communist Russia the peasants had more freedom than these poor bastards, Rasmussen lied about his whereabouts, alledgedly, why should he have to justify what he does every single day to some other authority, weeks in advance as well? Isn't that invasion of his own personal space? I really do feel sorry for these guys, told to perform but do it legally, if you don't quite make it though we're gonna fire you, no pressure.
