Poor Serb. All ten spies have now plead guilty and the Russian government has agreed to exchange 10 CIA operatives in return for the Russian spies.

lol


Two officials familiar with the case told NPR the spy swap actually started early this morning. That's when a Russian scientist and arms control researcher named Igor Sutyagin was moved out of Lefortovo prison in Moscow and put on a plane to Vienna, Austria. Sutyagin had been sentenced to 15 years for spying for the United States. He has consistently denied doing so, but apparently, to win his freedom (f*ck yeah! Right! The guy is innocent!), he signed a document admitting guilt before he left Russia, the officials said.

Sutyagin was arrested in 1999. Russian authorities accused him of passing along secrets about nuclear submarines to a British company that prosecutors said was a front for the CIA. He was convicted in 2004 and sentenced to 15 years. Human-rights organizations at the time said Sutyagin had been railroaded as part of a broader effort by the Russian government to discourage any contact their scientists had with foreigners.

Sutyagin's mother, Svetlana, told NPR that she visited with her son in prison yesterday. And she said her son told her he had to (poor fellow) sign a confession before there would be any exchange of prisoners. "Our officials, they've been waiting so long for the change to say ah-HA, you see, he's admitted it," she said. "But he wasn't guilty. ... All this was forced. He's been pushed out of the country. This is what saddens him."


And still CIA is happy to exchange this "unguilty" person for a real spy?
CIA must be idiots.

We're not the ones denying they're spies.

If they're not real spies, as Serb claims, then why is the Russian government willing to trade for them? The evidence is pretty overwhelming and compiled over years. If they're not spies then why send secret messages to the Russian embassy? Why have the Russian embassy send secret messages to them? Why have code words and bury suitcases of cash in public parks only to have a different agent pick it up years later?

It's all lies of the American media. Now, can we move on to the important part of this story, namely the details of Chapman's Maxim photo shoot? I'm going to guess they'll dress her up in old Bond Girl costumes.
