Espionage/Big lenses of fear

Spy“Russians Charged in Cold War-Style Spy Scheme” claimed various US media headline, reporting the federal criminal charges brought against three Russians in New York this week. Other news outlets similarly touted “Russian spies” and “spy ring” and “Cold War” treachery.


These headlines seem to herald a major espionage case. Like that of Robert Hanssen — the FBI counterintelligence agent who devastatingly spied not only on by for his Soviet handlers for 20 years; or Jonathan Pollard — the American Navy Intelligence employee who sold highly sensitive US national security information to his Israeli handlers for thousands of dollars.


New York Russian ‘Spy’ Case is Not James Bond
