Actually, she's correct about that: usually, governments do not openly acknowledge their spies, nor do they engage citizens of the country which they were spying on in a campaign to get their spies released.

Anyway, normally you don't see this kind of thing, but to call it especially "shameless" coming from another government is a bit off, imo. Usually this sort of stuff is kept in the back channels, as the Pollard thing seems to have been in the beginning. Then, as we all know by now, Clinton welshed. From there on, different rules seem to apply.
