Russia rips spy ring bust as arrests rise to 11 - Yahoo! News

Russia rips spy ring bust as arrests rise to 11 - Yahoo! News


Weird news.

Shouldn't spies being doing something more sneaky? Like photographing potential targets? or bribing elected officials to influence policy? It sounds almost as if these people were writing what anyone could already read on the internet. Must be something left out of the story.

Now the journalist who criticizes the US is an interesting one. Could it go either way? Could the journalist be getting paid to write negatively about the US? Or could the US invent connections to foreign powers in order to silence a critic of the US?

And what is happening to that kid who allegedly leaked to wikileaks? How much information is really available to the public? The stuff of spy novels.
