4. Heh! Now they are trying to go to war with Russia I suppose.

[MyNameGoesHere]

5. That's ok there are more sources now

so that ain't helping. The first alert i got was from MSNBC which I don't think is owned or operated by carlson. But MSNBC had no more than just the blinking headline so I added that as a source to comply with rules.

But your concern is noted and hopefully the next time a "DU sanctioned liberal news source" will have the breaking news first.

Also rarely are there coincidences in Washington. Medvedev was indeed here a few days ago. Timing stinks.

6. Loosen your tin foil hat; it's restricting something!

:crazy:

16. I don't use tinfoil

it is not very green. Too much ends up in the landfills.

3. Well, for once it wasn't

is it me.. We still have Cold War????

[Socal31]

8. This is earily familiar to the book "Charm School."

There are more spies in DC now than were ever there in the Cold War.

[SpiralHawk]

14. Stirred, not shaken

[cowman]

22. Great Book

and great author, Nelson Demille

[AmericaIsGreat]

9. acting as agent of foreign gov max 5 years; money laundering max 20 years?

Should be switched.

Also, I'd like to hear Russia's explanation.

[Ian David]

10. Obama Admin arrests Russian spies who operated undercover on Bush's watch. n/t

[VermeerLives]

18. Actually, Russian spies have operated under every President

Russian intelligence officers have operated on our soil for decades. The State Department under Roosevelt was penetrated with Russian spies. These people came here with the sole purpose of penetrating our government at the highest levels, and that should concern all of us, regardless of who is President..

This is a very big deal. And anyone who was working with them will not be resting easy tonight. You can be sure of that.

[cowman]

23. Are you kidding me

Deep cover spies are here for many many years, almost definitly before Bush. Bush was an idiot but quit blameing him for everything, it's getting old

[Dreamer Tatum]

24. You really want to play that game?

It cuts both ways, unfortunately.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. Assertion: Spy busts' are available to the AP.

knock it down

[Elmore Furth]

12. The Russians/Soviets have a long history of 'deep covers'

Even as superpower tensions subsided in the mid-1980s and after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Moscow continued not only to recruit turncoat Americans and other Westerners, but to penetrate Western societies with highly trained, long-term espionage officers and agents.

15. Gee that sounds awful. Thank God we don't do that.... nt

[Green_Lantern]

34. but in America it's only treason when done to our own govt and

Offering comfort to our "enemies". Americans spying on Russia aren't being treasonous.

[GlennWRECK]

17. Spies? Russians? DEATH PENALTY!

[tiny elvis]

19. the russians?

Doesn't start lowering its currency then there will be one huge expose.
It has already started.

26. Major Russian spy ring busted

Source: Yahoo.com

WASHINGTON – The FBI has arrested 10 people who allegedly spied for Russia for up to a decade — posing as innocent civilians while trying to infiltrate U.S. policymaking circles and learn about U.S. weapons, diplomatic strategy and political developments.

An 11th defendant — a man accused of delivering money to the agents — remains at large.

There was no clue in the court papers unsealed Monday about how successful the agents had been, but they were alleged to have been long-term, deep cover spies. Among them were four couples living in suburbs of New York, Washington and Boston. One woman was a reporter and editor for a prominent Spanish-language newspaper in New York whom the FBI says it videotaped contacting a Russian official in 2000 in Latin America.

Cool, sleeper rings are very hard to detect let alone capture.

[Journeyman]

27. So this transpired during a Republican Administration and was exposed by a Democratic leadership?...

I wonder how it will be twisted to show Obama's incompetence, indeed complicity.

[denbot]

29. Beck has slipped on his phony tweed professors jacket and is dusting off his chockboard

Rush will just fart-out what ever comes to mind, and his idiot listeners will just nod and repeat it around the pickle barrel.

[ChicagoSuz219]

28. Awk-ward...

I wonder if the President has spoken to his new bff yet...

[GreenTea]

[zogofzorkon]

CIA spies in Russia aren't committing treason.
