Its odd how some things never change, have just finished watching Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with the great Sir Alec Guiness, its about double agents at the height of the Cold War, and what do I read in the Telegraph, the hot Russian spy Anna Chapman is being held by the Russians to check out if she is double agent. Advice to the successor KGB don’t let men question her, she could be a double agent and is so hot that the men would offer to carry the stuff to the US Embassy. But seriously folks, have to admit have enjoyed this return to the Cold War, there is one thing you can guarantee about the spy business folks, the real good ones by the end are working both sides against the middle, that how stay alive. Also they never allow emotion to get in the way, to miss quote a line from a film “ A spy should after a years of creating a network be willing to sell that network down the water in a second if its in the national security interest of that spy ”. At the end of the day folks it’s more George Smiley than James Bond, lot of leg work, reading and watching, and having a unhealthy diet on a stakeout. Would the US send back a double agent, in less it was setting up a agent to cover for another Agent in Moscow. Or of course the info about the Russian Agents came via the air.
