To put this more starkly:  Imagine visiting a country that has a known 
reputation for human rights violation.  You meet with a small group of 
people and the conversation turns to the human rights situation where 
you have tremendous ideas about what THEY can do to improve things.  
Some of the group show a great deal of enthusiasm about your proposals.  
After the conversation ends you go to the airport and home.  You later 
receive a message that one of the people in the group was an incognito 
agent for the government who subsequently arranged for the arrest and 
re-education of some of the group.  What responsibility would you accept 
for that situation?
