With that many spies about it should be easy to pass the word that if the Russkies still want a go at Germany and France it's OK with us.

I have said it here before. We have to watch Putin, any ex-KGB agent can't be trusted.

Russian spies are nothing compared to the damage the russian "mafia" is doing in our country. They are everywhere, and are stealing everything that isn't nailed down. In particular, they are the driving force behind the explosion of auto theft in this country.
I'm sure that they have their mitts in everything else. They have rights here, unlike they did in russia, and our country club prisons are a joke to them. They are the real threat, not these few spies.

I wouldn't trust the Russkies any further than I could pickup and throw a SALT II, Restricted, dishonest & treaty-breaking, Soviet SS-20 ICBM, with a 20 Nuclear warhead payload.

If they're so concerned about the Russians maybe they ought to boot those two Commies in the Dept. of Homeland Security. Yvgeny Primakov was a KGB deneral and the ex-stasi head (I believe his name is Wolf). These people have no place in our government.

"the FBI has placed counterespionage squads of at least seven agents in all 56 of its field division offices over the past year."

Can this really be true?

Why on Earth would little field offices like Medford, Oregon, need SEVEN espionage agents looking for Russian spies?

Are the Russian spies really that prevelant in small town America?

While the U.S. might like to eject suspect diplomats to force the Russians to send in their "rookies," as a U.S. official put it, Moscow would probably respond in kind, denting the CIA's corps in Russia.

This sentence gets to the real heart of the matter.

Lest we forget: we spy on them, too.

In fact, if you were to gather together all the people who act as spies, intelligence gatherers, espionage agents and support personnel for all the governments of the world – let alone the corporate operators, I doubt there is a convention town anywhere that could accommodate them all for a weekend.

So sure, we can complain about Russia spying on us, but I, for one, find such complaints to be the epitome of hypocrisy.

Besides, the Chinese are much more aggressive – and apparently more successful -- in their espionage activities in the U.S.

Heck, they even owned a president for eight years. Not shabby.
