The math is pretty simple: if I harbor a citizen of another country who committed espionage against that country, then I have little chance that I will be able to ask other countries for help when I need to track down one of my own fugitives.

What??

It's was the U.S. government doing the espionage on that country which is harboring the person who ratted out the country committing espionage, which was the U.S. government.

LOL!
