1. This, just proves my point, " obviously Ulfric's death would have dramatically increased the chance of an  Imperial  victory and thus harmed our overall position in Skyrim.   A Stormcloak victory is also to be avoided, however, so even indirect aid to the Stormcloaks must be carefully managed." Any side wining harms the Thalmor, becuase an on-going war would do them better.

2. Even Ashley agrees that the Thalmor used Ulfric as an excuse, he is not a Thalmor agent.

3. Ok, but that also proves my point that they used it to get an upper hand on skyrim. 1. I thought you quite clearly quoted it yourself? The Thalmor seek to avoid a Stormcloak victory, doesn't mean it harms them. An Imperial Victory, however, is directly stated to harm them.

2. Not anymore, no. But he was.

3. Not really. They can't arrest who they please.
