Russian Spying

Over the past several days, some very shocking and damaging reports have been issued, implicating Russia on spying on the US prior to its invasion of Iraq, including placing sources in US Central Command (CENTCOM), and passing this intelligence off to Iraqi intelligence and officials. If this is correct, this could substantially change our relationship with the man whom our President "could see inside his soul." The truth of the matter would be, our President played poker with the Russian president and lost.

It is even being reported that the Russian ambassadors stole secret Iraqi documents on their way out of the country prior to the 2003 invasion.

Russia is denying these reports, of course, but the implications are startling. Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security council. They are not exactly on our side negotiating with Iran, nor the new Hamas government in Pakistan.

Are they helping us or damaging our national security at every turn?

Good question.
