Do you know any spies?

Holy thong. I was watching PBS tonight on Soviet espionage during WW2.

As it turns out, there were over 300 soviet spies (100 specifically identified) that had infiltrated all levels of government, including the CIA.

In our increasingly diverse nation, I wonder how many spies are among us now?

They are everywhere, in our companies, neighborhoods, and classrooms. Heck, there must be one or two in this forum.

Anyone want to fess up?

Funny, but seriously! I know most of you don't care about this, but think about spies that work on technology that gets to our military, etc.

At my work (networking industry), the government is trying to get their fingers in it because they know the risk when our troops rely on battlefront network technology. I'm sure China and Russia know the ins and outs of our systems because they have spies and agents working on them.

Look around, and I guarantee you know one or two of them.

I work here. http://www.auctionarms.com/ I doubt we have any spies. Our CEO was a Marine during Desert Storm.

Some of the most famous spies have been in the Army and in high government roles.

Nobody cares about this topic I guess.

Oh I don't doubt that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of spies in our government. Even more in our private sector. But what is to be done about it? What can be done that is politically correct enough for the American public?

Russia doesn't have a handle on their domestic affairs . . . I doubt they're spying on any large scale.

China though? I'm sure they are posing as South Koreans or even many third world counties. How hard would it be to learn a language if you are Chinese and then go to that country (asian country) and emigrate to the US with the right strings pulled on a student or work visa and then become a permanent resident?

The Devil's smartest feat was tricking the world into thinking he doesn't exist.

Do you actually think the former Soviet Union is any less of a threat today? They continue to develop state of the art military equipment, designed to face an American opponent.

As far as China goes, either Clinton straight up gave them our current missile technology, or agents stole it.

Who cares who said it.
I've heard many Russian immigrants say that we shouldn't buy the hoax that the soviet threat is somehow diminished. Even today, they continue to crank out technologies meant to kill U.S. troops and citizens. They sell such technologies to the hightest bidder, which happens to be China these days.

Remember that recent terror incident in which they used an undetectable knockout gas? That isn't even the tip of the iceburg of what they've been up to.

You'd think they'd be more worried about feeding thier people. Oh wait, never mind, that's America. And don't TRY to say "Americans are starving", the ones who are, are either crazy or on drugs(most likely, not pills or pot).
