Does the CIA have a new Aldrich Ames on its hands?
Aldrich “Rick” Ames was desperate for money. It was the mid-1980s, and the CIA’s senior counterintelligence officer in the Soviet division had also grown disillusioned with his employer and the spy games between the United States and Soviet Union. So, on June 13 1985, inside his Langley office, Ames made a bold decision. He packed up a six-pound stack of documents that showed the case files and cryptonyms of some of the agency’s best Soviet sources, each with code names such as TICKLE, GENTILE, MILLION and JOGGER.
Then, he stuffed the papers into plastic bags, jammed them into his briefcase, walked to an elevator, and walked out the door of the CIA, according to “Betrayal: The Story of Aldrich Ames, An American Spy,” a 1995 book by a team of New York Times reporters. His next stop was the parking lot, where he got in his car, transferred the dossier into a plastic shopping bag, and drove to have lunch with a Soviet official.
“As they dined, the shopping bag sat under the table. It held nothing but the documents - and the soul of a burned-out CIA man,” according to the “Betrayal” authors, who interviewed Ames. “ ‘In a sense, I was delivering myself along with them,’ Ames said. ‘I was saying: Over to you, KGB. You guys take care of me now. I’ve done this. I’ve demonstrated that I’m holding nothing back. You guys take care of me.’ “
Does the CIA have a modern-day Ames on its hands now? For several years, federal investigators have been trying to determine whether a mole has been responsible for the imprisonment or deaths of the CIA’s network of informants in China. Last week the Justice Department announced the arrest of a former CIA case officer who served in China, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, 53, a naturalized U.S. citizen who left the agency in 2007 and is a suspect in the China investigation.
So far, he has been charged only with unlawful possession of classified information, keeping notebooks filled with the true names and phone numbers of assets and covert CIA employees in an undisclosed country. But Lee’s arrest - and the glaring possibility of a mole deep in the heart of Langley - resurfaced memories of Ames, the agency’s most notorious turncoat.
The investigations into both men share a similar thread: Their bank activities made them suspicious. Lee received hundreds of thousands of dollars “in unexplained bank deposits,” the New York Times reported Wednesday.
