"This is the usual diplomatic language that refers to spying."

And usually in cases like this, they've harvested all the information on the spies (the Iraqis in this case) and have no further use for them. If they know they're spies, they've probably been watching them for awhile.

I wonder what kind of spying Iraqis do in New York that is of any value to them.
