60 MINS EXCLUSIVE: SPY ROBERT HANSSEN'S TREACHERY EXTENDS TO SEX LIFE WITH WIFE
Psychiatrist Says Spying Was Hanssens Escape From His Sexual Problems
Lesley Stahl has learned that Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent who betrayed his country, also betrayed his church and his wife. Stahl reports that Hanssen invited his best friend to watch him have sex with his wife on a secretly installed television system his wife never knew about. Stahls report, part of an investigation that began last June when she first reported that Hanssen had begun spying six years earlier than previously reported, will be broadcast on
60 MINUTES Sunday, Dec. 16 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The 60 MINUTES report, pieced together from government sources and Hanssens psychiatric profile, names Jack Horschauer, a retired army officer, as the friend he asked to watch the television hooked to a hidden video camera aimed at his marriage bed. Hanssen also sent nude pictures of his wife, Bonnie, to Horschauer, unbeknownst to her, the sources revealed.
Hanssens sexual behavior, including posting sexually explicit stories about him and Bonnie on the Internet and numerous visits to strip clubs, where he tried to convert strippers to Catholicism, was part of a psychological disorder, says a psychiatrist who examined him. Spying, for the devoutly religious Hanssen, was a way to escape those sexual problems, according to the doctor.
Dr. Alan Salerian was hired by Hanssens defense team to examine him and then fired for divulging information Salerian claims Hanssen wanted the world to know. [Hanssens] espionage was an escape from his sexual demons. When he found himself in exciting, dangerous positions, such as espionage and spying, he found that his demons slowed down, Salerian tells Stahl. He is driven by demons by thoughts, unwanted thoughts.
To former Justice Department investigator John Martin, it was simpler. He lived a life of treachery and betrayal and he betrayed everyone, says Martin, a veteran of 76 spy investigations. I dont know if the FBI is surfing the pornographic net looking for spies. They may be doing it after this case, he tells Stahl.
Developing...
Horsehockey.
Nothing a good bleeding won't cure.
Now here is where I wish we Jews were into proselytizing.
Aren't we all?
The difference is, he chose to follow the bad thoughts with illegal actions. That's why he's a traitor.
This is just another example of a shrink trying to excuse evil.
On a tangential note, I recommend that anytime a mentally imbalanced criminal get out of prison on a shrink's recommendation, the perp splits his parole time between boarding with the shrink and boarding with his lawyer.
It's time we provided a nice penalty, both personal and professional, for the malfeasance of these professions in the area of recidivism.
Uh...yeah...I was looking for spies, right, that's it.
Ditto Hanssen. Allow his wife a conjugal visit and ole Bobby will prefer the lethal injection.
BTW, isn't this more than we wanted to know about Hanssen? I know it is for me....
Oh, well. Birds of a feather, and all that.
No kidding! I think someone forgot the barf alert. But then again, we were drawn to the provocative title.
My wife was blindfolded, my best friend was in the closet running the video...I never thought this would happen to me....
