- The Knights seem pretty prepared and organised; one wonders who was behind them – and how many other Line veterans they’d previously targeted in this way.

Yes, one wonders who is behind them - is it even Earth?
If not, that may be another reason the Psi Corps wasn't used.
But I do think the are targeting Sinclair specifically.

- Is Garibaldi’s second in command’s complete incompetence in checking Benson’s credit account meant to be a plot point? That he’s intentionally sabotaging the search for Sinclair? He is part of Clark’s conspiracy, and the Knights have to have some sort of support from high up.


Or maybe this is just JMS's commentary on the imperfection in the workings of police forces etc. in general...
