"After falling afoul of said state for dubious activities he suddenly had a change of heart and defected? Actually, he fled to save his neck."
Again, please cite your sources. When exactly did Pacepa run afoul with his Communist masters???

So, if we believe Pacepa, as you suggest we should. You know, that this is a plot of the Soviet Union, and old commies haven't faded away. Then why would we support a guy who accepted his rank back from a guy he called a tool of the KGB and just how the hell did he earn 3 million dollars during a communist regime?
"The former head of the Romanian espionage, Ion Mihai Pacepa, was restored the rank of reservist general, according to officials of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SIE). The director of SIE, Gheorghe Fulga, granted Ion Mihai Pacepa the general rank in the last days of Ion Iliescu's term of office as president of Romania. After the High Court of Cassation and Justice's ruling remained final, the former head of state gave the green light for Pacepa to be restored all his rights and privileges. Culture Minister Mona Musca said on Wednesday that she agrees that the head of the communist-era espionage get back his paintings seized by the communist regime after he fled the country. In 1999, Ion Mihai Pacepa, who is currently living in the United States, was rehabilitated by the Supreme Court of Justice, which ruled that his entire wealth, estimated to 3 million dollars, be restored."
So, if we believe the warnings of Pacepa, then we should definitely suspect him since he's gone back to his old cronies in the rank of reserve general. Nice that he'll be able to spend some of the 3 million he earned in a communist country when the average salary was about 40 dollars a month.
