Logic? Sense? Reason? Have you got the wrong characters

From a storytelling perspective, it works beautifully in showcasing Birdie as a formidable character worthy of great respect. But it still had me shaking my head going "They'd never send Pointer on an assignment like that."
...
(1) Putting Michael Pointer---the man who supposedly wiped out Alpha Flight---in a "Guardian" suit, thereby insinuating Pointer is Canada's signature superhero, is ludicrous. Anybody with half a brain would know not to do that.
(2) Not notifying "next-of-kin" that something happened to Alpha Flight is just beyond belief: (a) Heather's parents and siblings should have been told; (b) Aurora and Northstar should have been told; (c) Chuck Moss, as Shaman's protege, should have been told, and; (d) any relative(s) of Major Mapleleaf should have been told. Brown kept track of Yukon Jack---Yukon Jack !---but not the other Alphans? "You gotta be kiddin' me."
(3) Pointer hasn't caught any bad guys in the 8 months of MCP (I know # 9 is out, saw it yesterday, haven't gotten it, yet), and Pointer doesn't look like he's going to be a prime protector of Canada because Brown isn't in control of his clandestine operation anyway. Turning Department H into a warehouse for Pointer's power-siphoning helps Canada how, exactly?
The nonsense factor runs deep. I think this Department H would have the audacity to send Pointer to recruit Snowbird. It sent Sasquatch alone to fight four Asgardian-powered bad-guys (the Wrecking Crew); it used Arachne and Sasquatch to round up illegal metahumans to be fodder for Pointer; it doesn't seem to care that Tentakill is still on the loose; it doesn't seem to be doing anything that anyone with half a brain could reasonably say is helping Canada. :roll:

I just bought the Omega trade yesterday, and have hence just re-read that bit (although the whole thing feels different to my first reads). I'm going to do a little bit of devilish advocacy:
They didn't send him, he went on his own, which annoyed / scared Agent Brown.
