As an intelligence service the Stasi was almost as good as they were a secret police force, they had infiltrated practically every organization in the BDR and even recruited Helmut Kohl's secretary who fed the Stasi copies of Helmut Kohl's strategic intelligence briefings before Kohl himself read them.  America would be smart to reorganize its intelligence services with the Stasi hierarchy of one bureaucracy with one head as opposed to our current stupid little organization of 13 intelligence services under the Director of National Intelligence.

WW II Germany also had the problem of too many fingers at work. Along with the Gestapo, there was the military intelligence groups and the SS, who had their fingers in everything. The usual rivalry was at work.  

Admonish your friends privately, praise them publicly.
