A question about the crebain from Dunland: in the movie Gandalf says they are "spies of Saruman." That's (whose spies they are) not in the book or other sources that I can find (I don't have my source material with me at the moment. )

Here's a quote I looked up about this:

"Regiments of black crows are flying over all the land between the Mountains and the Greyflood,: he said, "and they have passed over Hollin. They are not natives here; they are crebain out of Fangorn and Dunland. I do not know what they are about: possibly there is some trouble away south from which they are fleeing; but I think they are spying out the land. I have also glimpsed many hawks flying high up in the sky. I think we ought to move again this evening. Hollin is no longer wholesome for us: it is being watched."
