Mighty quiet around here, what no fodder for Obama critics?
In exchange for the Russian agents, American officials won freedom for Igor Sutyagin, an arms control researcher convicted of spying for the United States, and Alexander Zaporozhsky, who may have exposed Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames — two of the most damaging spies ever caught in the U.S.
Hundreds of federal agents and local police expend tens of thousands of hours investigating 10 people over the course of 10 years. they are arrested and exposed on the news. BUT no information, no charges, no trials. Within only 12 days they are gone. Taxpayers picking up the tab for the flights. As a swap, we get 4 Russians and their family members [2 dozen people?] and taxpayers pick up the tab for their flight also. Case closed. Our tax dollars at work.
I think you meant "Who" wold have had gotten them (sic) . . .
They probably would have gone to jail if they could not have been sent back.
No I mean would he have gotten them had Russia not wanted theirs?
I am glad we got ours back but I wouldnt call it a win for Obama. Had he got our spies back without having to trade. I would be saying yes this is a win for Obama.
Why is this story such big news? The spys really didn't do anything, except make some hot head shots.
Perhaps, the red head will make a movie, or be in the next Daniel Craig Bond movie?
