Pippin:
Er, haven't you often defended Hermione's jinx by saying  you 
wished Dumbledore had used something like it  to 
catch Pettigrew? That doesn't sound like trust to me. 

On the whole, I like Dumbledore's method better -- release 
information on a 'need to know' basis and you won't have to set 
traps for your own side (it wasn't *his* idea to make Pettigrew
the secret keeper.)  I wouldn't trust anyone not to betray 
the Order under any circumstances. Everyone has a breaking point 
and Voldemort is very good at figuring out what they are. 

It is dangerous to know Voldemort's secrets. He would have killed
anyone he suspected of knowing about the horcruxes, and short
of blanketing the wizarding world with the information there would
have been no way to stop him from trying to do so.
