I think this is not a good idea. It either turns this game into a guessing-game of luck if you can only stop one of two possible disasterous events, or adds to unnecessarey micromanagement if you have enough points and must distribute them to all types of counterintel every turn.
I do like better control over my empire, I do not mind micromangement, but there must be real decisions behind every mouseclick, not decisions that are either obvious or random.
