Interesting idea - about Buffy thinking that Giles mostly uses her as a window dressing, like Andrew's recruiting video. Quite possible. But it's hard to judge because we don't know who's the boss.

Not really where I was going with it. More that Giles has quite a bit of the Operative in him and Buffy is more of an idealistic (and yet not quite cynical, yet) Mal.

Giles believes that in order to protect a good society, awful things must be done (the ends justify the means) but that those actions must be hidden from society in order to maintain appearances and Buffy is more of a "your actions define your society" type. It's a huge theme in the US today, what with the Bush administration performing all sorts of heinous actions to "protect" the free world.

Since the Spike incident Buffy's blinders have been off WRT Giles but she hasn't quite accepted the fact the sooner or later someone's going to have to put a stop to the "waterboarding". What I saw in her face, when ir ctumpled, was the realization that she's may have to act sooner rather than later.
