Busted

Some chick got nabbed for allegedly spying on one of the houses of Parliament in the U. K.. Many people have been interviewed. I'm learning a lot about the situation in some BBC podcasts.

The girl is Russian. She was cleared. She worked for two years for some MP or someone about that level. She did mundane day to day office work as far as anyone is willing to say. One of the other people who worked about the same level as she did would have been amazed if she had access beyond the person's schedule and hat size. She apparently went on holiday to some place in Eastern Europe with some friends she went to school (in the U. K.) with. They came back and bam she was under the microscope.

Some Russian general who defected years ago came on and said it isn't the spy you have to worry about it is the 600,000 Russians in London, many of whom are willing to volunteer to hand over whatever information they have to the agency that replaced the KGB. They get nothing in return. They just love doing it for free. He went on to describe the military generals who run the Russian consulate in London. They are active military.

That is about all I've heard on the subject. I don't know if it is the bias of the people involved, but so far it sounds like this chick is a patsy or a setup. What do I know?
