I can guarantee you that 1 in 400 of our projects by budget at my work aren't ilegal or could even have questions raised about their legality. Like most companies if we found a project that was illegal or found an employee was routinely breaking local law to do his job that would be fixed immediately not in 4 years while we waited for it to become legal. And if it turned out I was wrong and people where purposefully commiting crimes against my fellow countrymen I'd be cheering the whistleblower who brought it to light while looking for a different job that wasn't such a cesspit of moral compromise.
The silliest part about your statements is you seem to be ignoring the problem by focusinng on only (I won't even say positives because your just saying it is no longer illegal and that there is no up to the minute evidence from inside a secret organization) the neutrals in the situation. You're doing the equivalent of saying yes the arsonist set fires and destroyed 1000s of acres but isn't the sunset pretty because of the smoke. Oh and look the firetrucks put out the fire after only a couple of hikers died. Plus people did want to do a controlled burn of that forest at some point so we shouldn't take away his lighter and certainly shouldn't charge him.
