However just for laughs and giggles.  If a organization like the Librarians exist then the existence of wizards isn't a secret. Almost certainly there would be quislings, people like Kincaid, jealous lovers, and money. Can you see where this is going? One bright sunny morning Eb would be sitting at his table with his favorite brew looking at his freshly washed and licensed pickup.  He wouldn't hear the missile until it was too late to react.

So you're suggesting the Library of Congress would convince the US Military to start throwing about drone strikes on US soil against Civilian targets because "Trust us guys, Vamires and Wizards are for real."

I don't think that's going to fly.

Except in these days of the internet and outlandish conspiracy theories that people buy into, it could very well fly.

And even if it did, that kind of move invites some major retaliation and the Librarians would know that.

I'd be surprised if they don't have capabilities to pull off a successful version of the "just tell the feds it's terrorists" option that Murphy suggested for dealing with the Denarians in SmF.

Heck, they even might have bureaucromancer'ed themselves an off-the-books drone squadron of their own.

That doesn't seem to stop anyone these days.. Wars are fought differently now, they are very sneaky, impossible to pin down everything.  It becomes a game of wack a-mo on both sides and usually it is only the innocent bystanders that get hurt.  When you look at Battle Ground, who was really hurt?  Do you think the Fomor were really set back that far?  Yeah, the Ethinu was eliminated, but it is unclear if that got the king, I cannot remember, they didn't get Listen, they can come back to fight another day.. Namshiel is back in even a more dangerous and powerful form that he was as old Thorny.  The White Council suffered some losses among it's Wardens, but the Senior Council is still in tact..  The Black Court made huge gains, as far as the dead Wardens now vamps go.  Lara lost Thomas, but she gained Harry, Mab has more prestige.. So who lost?  The people of Chicago, that's who, they suffered and more civilians are going to suffer, the Librarians cannot win the fight if they try to go after the supernatural world, it's too hidden, they don't understand it, and conventional weapons are pretty useless.
