ASOIAF: How would the Faceless Men react to the idea of animating dead corpses?

This is actually an interesting question.
I think they would see ANY resurrection or reanimation of a corpse as being something of an abomination, a cheat for their Many-faced God.
They might even take it into their hands to try to bring about the destruction of the resurreectee/animated corpse.
But, when it comes to the Wights, they are rather harder to kill than normal people, so if they are going to do something about them, they had either
  1. Get some kind of fire-making machine(like a dragon too get rid of them)
  2. Or start recruiting a lot more Faceless Men, because their job just got a lot busier and harder.
Now, it's popularly theorized that the Faceless Men are looking for and perhaps have already gotten their hand on a top-secret dragon book secreted away in the Citadel. Indeed, no other theory exists for the mystery of the Alchemist's(aka The Faceless Man Formerly Known As Jaqen H'ghar) goal in A Feast for Crows.
Some people think it's because they want to kill Dany's dragons and need info to do so; but other's think they want a dragon of their own.
To what end? I wonder.
