Comment: Much of COIN, Low-Intensity Conflicts, Stability Operations, counter-gang, counter-organized crime efforts...whatever one wants to call them... relies heavily on the use of informants.
The site addresses legal/moral challenges of leveraging human sources...criminals don't necessarily worry about these concerns as they simply choose the most profitable path of least resistance to meet the endstate. The exception is one is forced to work against a personal loyalty or interest.
These challenges can be found in environments such as organized crime (Mexico), nation building efforts (Afghanistan) to counter-gang efforts (US/Overseas).
