Counter-intel against someone???

Now that's an interesting question. If you've chosen it manually, then I guess there's no other way it could work than to counter-act anything that is being turned against you. But if the AI can 'set' a target, is that automatically true of the AI counter-intel? I wonder.

It maybe that the AI can indeed 'set' what empire the counter-intel works against, because its ability to access the real information about who is attacking you means that having a particular empire setting isn't a vulnerability. The AI minister can just start another counter-intel project if it notices another attacker. Only with a human player who isn't allowed to see the mechanics would choosing a particular target be a problem.
