Claim: The Politieke Inlichtingen Dienst(main security agency for the Dutch East Indies from 1916-45) always worked independently from its inception to its termination.
Evidence: The PID, an acronym for Politieke Inlichtingen Dienst, translated in English as Political Intelligence Department), was the main security agency for the Dutch East Indies from 1916 until its break-up in 1945. Obviously the work of that PID was largely a case that took place in the seclusion.
