[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

I think I know what you mean. If I understand you correctly, what Harry believes is that truth can be made to be elastic if the professional situation demands it, if truth can be more damaging to the country's security and the success of an operation than a lie would be. I would agree with that. I also got the sense throughout 3.6 that Harry had some doubts about the assurances he doled out - he said to Zoe that everything would be allright, and then later told Ruth that there was no need for alarm - but at the same time he and Adam planned for a negative outcome as well. It was really great to see how far he was prepared to go to protect Zoe. He does care deeply for his officers, doesn't he?
