BELOW: Defense Department official Ozzie Bright (actually a Chitauri spy) compares the current situation to when the Allies broke the Nazis' Enigma code, but did not act on everything they learned from this breakthrough:
"I'll ask you to indulge me in a little historical parallel," Bright went on. "During World War II, hard decisions were made about utilizing certain technologies and acting on the information gained thereby. Had the Allies saved every life and thwarted every minor movement they learned about by cracking the Enigma code, the Nazis would quickly have abandoned Enigma; by sacrificing those necessary lives, the Allies maintained their intelligence superiority over the Nazis long enough for the advantage to prove decisive. Do you understand the analogy, General Fury?"
