That's like saying, "What do you think members of the Inquisition do? Right or wrong, their job is to forcefully convert people's religion under threat of death or torture."

I can see the need, and indeed the duty, for our spy agencies to spy on our enemies. But our allies? Our citizens?

You cant make that argument at the time of the Inquisition it was acceptable to kill people in that manner. Hopefully 600-800 years from now this kind of spying will be a thing of the past.

Have you read up on the real inquisition?

[raldi]

A reasonable amount, I thought. Is there some aspect of it you think I'm mistaken about?

From what I read, they didn't particularly go about "forcefully convert[ing] people's religion under threat of death or torture".
