Spy exchange completed at Vienna airport
Washington Post ^ | 07.09.10 | By Natasha Abbakumova and Andrew Higgins

Posted on 07/09/2010 8:13:35 AM PDT by Perdogg

An elaborate spy swap reminiscent of the Cold War took place Friday at Vienna International Airport -- a minutely choreographed operation involving 10 members of a Russian espionage ring that infiltrated American suburbia and four Russians who had been jailed in Russia for their contacts with the West.

And now, a 'Duck and Cover' film.

Welcome back to the 50's and 60's.

Couldn't we have given them Obama,
The First Wookie, Dingy Harry, and
Pelosi for...Maria Sharapova?

Nothing about this makes any sense.

The arrests as Medvedev(sp) is visiting obamao.

Why did the FBI time it like that?

Tried, convicted, deported all in less than, what, 10 days?

Were these people interrogated?

Wonder what Putin has on obama to get this done so quickly.

Just some thoughts.

Are any of them really returning to Russia? Do any of the ones we traded for really want to come to Obama’s America?

One of the lawyers of one of the dudes released to us said that this was in the works....BEFORE Obama.

Note that the 4 that were released to us all signed statements that they were guilty.....and the 10 we picked up also pleaded guilty.

I'm betting that one of the ones being released to us will turn out to be a very dangerous agent and will disappear off the face of the earth (not really).

"Good burger, plant. Send the spies home to us immediately.
Protect them. No interrogations or it will lead back to you, the DNC and me.
Get your Sandy Berger to clean up everything else."

Aw, couldn't they have staged it at the Glienicker Brücke, at midnight - just for old times' sake?

The whole thing is a joke. The best cold war spy films were Michael Caine as Harry Palmer. Ipcress File and Funeral In Berlin.

It’s all about controlling the masses. Idiots in America who watch TV keep Obama in power.

You’re much too late.

They pleaded guilty to being “unregistered foreign agents”. In fact, one source told me that DoJ really didn't have a lot on them.

They could not be interrogated because 1) There was no proof they had actually committed any act of spying and b) they got lawyered up.

My Speculation is, only speculation, the Russians wanted to protect Anna because she was laundering money for the VSR.

If there was nothing on them why the rush to get them out of the Country?....just asking.

This stinks, imo.
