Why are they only spies if they are the enemy?That is just silly thinking if your job is to gather intelligence then you are a spy I do not care who you work for if your job is directly related to espionage then you are a spy.
My step father would laugh at your ideology he was a spook in the USAF and was offered a job with the CIA later(that he turned down).He goes to reunions and all the guys pride themselves on having spied on the Chinese and Soviets they openly admit that they spied on them.They laugh about how they would "find" the right channels by snooping(spying) in on radio networks and the stupid mistakes the Reds made that gave away what networks where the good ones.
Spy:
A person who secretly collects and reports information about an enemy or competitor.
Work for an organization by secretly collecting information about enemies or competitors.
Not every officer in the CIA is a direct spy that is true but they actively commit or control acts of espionage.
