Spying is one thing, DDOSing government websites of a notionally allied country is another.

Yes. Spying is way worse but they still do so.

Nah, that's well within the normal range. This is the Federal Bureau of oops-that-terrorist-actually-was-an-informant-of-ours after all.

It really does seem like you all aren't aware of the (deserved) reputation of the FBI outside the US.

Not really, if you can cloak it in plausible deniability.

It's hard to believe. DDoS is script kiddie vandalism. It wouldn't yield any intel.
