Good point. Furthermore, is there a specific obligation to go out of ones way
to "fish" for compromising information on a wikipedia user, I.E. Isn't there
anything like our AGF in the best practises of the armed servises?

Even if there were an affirmative obligation to pass on any information that
would lead to the apprehension of somebody misusing resources, wouldn't
such an affirmative obligation only apply to positive knowledge. That is, how
should anyone be affirmatively obliged to inform upon a *possible* infraction?

If that were the case, wouldn't that mean that those folk should be running
around frenetically informing their higher-ups about every suscpicion they
might have about their brothers in arms... ?
