One thing I've been thinking about, for a fic I may or may not eventually write, is--okay, so we've had first contact, we've had an interstellar war, but there's still plenty of conflict here on Earth. Surrendered Yeerks, working for the US gov't, seem ... very useful. I would not be at all surprised to see Yeerks used to "interrogate" prisoners, and for various other intelligence work in the war on terror. This wouldn't be widely known though, as I doubt the general public would approve. But on the other hand we have give support to all sorts of things in the name of national security. Of course, given that first contact is a few months pre-9/11 the war on terror might take an entirely different route in the animorphs universe.
