"No intelligence source in a war zone is brought into a base of any kind without being checked and screened. When your principal adversary uses suicide vests as a standard tactic that is doubly true. No source of any kind, no matter where, needs to be brought into a facility and put in proximity to 13 or 14 officers. Even absent a terrorist threat, the potential compromise of officers' identities and base capabilities is enormous and unwarranted." (Charles S. Faddis. CNN 11/1/10) Charles S.

U.S. Diplomat Named In Purported
Sex Video
10 August 2009
A senior U.S. diplomat in Moscow was caught up in a sex scandal on Friday, after a grainy video that purports to show him meeting prostitutes was picked up by national newspapers.The man is named as Kyle Hatcher, the second secretary of the U.S. Embassy, in the video, which was originally published Thursday on Informacia.ru. The video was covered in Izvestia and Komsomolskaya Pravda on Friday.Izvestia ran a story headlined “An American Diplomat Knows How to Negotiate With Russian Tarts,” while Komsomolskaya Pravda headlined its story “Smut: The Sin of a Diplomat.”A spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy said she was aware of the story but that she could not comment or confirm whether Hatcher works at the embassy.Hatcher’s cell phone was switched off Friday afternoon.His work involves meetings with Russian Orthodox Church priests, a fact mentioned in the news coverage. The web site of the Moscow Patriarchate writes that he attended a meeting between Patriarch Kirill and U.S. Ambassador John Beyrle on July 3.His profile on the Linkedin.com networking web site says he became a foreign service officer in 2007 after working as a financial analyst at the Treasury Department. The Izvestia story says the makers of the video approached Hatcher with a blackmail demand and published the video after he approached embassy officials for help.The heavily edited video does not show any sex and is too grainy for the man’s face to be clearly identifiable. It begins with recordings of a man speaking Russian with a foreign accent, who talks to women called Tina, Sonya and Veronika on the telephone and arranges meetings. One of the addresses is on Kutuzovsky Prospekt.The film also shows a man in winter clothing talking on the phone on a snowy street.It then cuts to a hotel room with a man in a T-shirt and shorts lying on the bed. He stands on a chair and checks something close to the camera. A woman comes in and the couple are shown undressing and walking to the bathroom.The article on Informacia.ru says the scenes were filmed in March. It also insinuates that Hatcher works for the CIA.The web site’s chief editor, Vladimir Alexandrov, said in e-mailed comments Sunday that the video came from a “proven and trustworthy source,” declining to elaborate.The same web site ran a video showing a man resembling British diplomat James Hudson having sex with two prostitutes in July. Hudson, who served as the deputy consul general in Yekaterinburg, resigned from the Foreign Office after The Sun covered in the story.(The Moscow Times) |

Hanssen : Internet & Computers |
UPDATE 2/3/07 - The Movie “Breach,” Opened in Theaters |
To Catch A Spy - The Wrong CIA Man - |
3/2/2007 9:59:53 AM
Eric O'Neill, Former FBI Agent, Robert Hanssen Case Eric O'Neill, Former FBI Agent, Robert Hanssen Case gives a detailed look into the Robert Hanssen spy case. Mr. O'Neill was an FBI agent involved in catching Mr. Hanssen. The FBI forbade Mr. O’Neill to speak publicly until recently. Mr. O’Neill served as a special consultant to the movie “Breach,” which opened in theaters. |

New movie shows FBI
rookie's role in catching spy
WASHINGTON (Washingtonpost/Reuters) - Eric O'Neill was a young,FBI surveillance operative when recruited for a new assignment: help catch perhaps the most damaging spy in U.S. history. O'Neill was assigned to FBI headquarters in January 2001 in an undercover role to assist veteran FBI special agent Robert Hanssen, a suspected mole who had been compromised by the Russians.An FBI team of hundreds investigating Hanssen hoped the 26-year-old O'Neill, who was not even an agent, would gain Hanssen's trust and help catch him in the act of passing U.S. secrets.Hanssen's arrest six years ago, his subsequent guilty plea to more than 20 years of spying and his sentence of life in prison are well known, but details of O'Neill's role were scarce until the recent release of the movie "Breach," based on his story.In the Universal Pictures' film, actor Ryan Phillippe stars as O'Neill, while Academy Award winner Chris Cooper plays Hanssen.In an interview, O'Neill talked about the notorious case now made famous by Hollywood, saying he was amazed the FBI would bring in someone so young for such a mission."These cases come up once every several decades," O'Neill said.FBI officials said O'Neill's background in computers helped get him the assignment. Hanssen was reassigned on January 13, 2001, to a newly created job at headquarters to help revamp the FBI's computer system.But the assignment created so the FBI team could monitor Hanssen's daily activities without tipping him to their investigation."We hoped he (O'Neill) could pull it off without arousing suspicion," said one FBI agent. "They took a chance on him."At one point, O'Neill almost got caught in one of the movie's most dramatic scenes. 'THAT WAS THE WORST' Hanssen left his office as arranged to go to the FBI's firing range. Hollywood enhanced the story line to have him also lose patience at a picture-taking session for a portrait to commemorate 25 years with the bureau.While the veteran agent was gone, O'Neill took Hanssen's Palm Pilot and copied information but nearly got caught because he almost put it back in the wrong pocket of Hanssen's briefcase."I sat there thinking I've just ruined this entire operation," O'Neill said. "That was the worst."It turned out O'Neill had put the hand-held device back in the correct pocket. Hanssen asked him if he had been in his briefcase. "I just lied the best I could and convinced him," O'Neill said.Court documents said the device contained a specific upcoming date, time and reference to the site in nearby Virginia where Hanssen and the Russians exchanged information. The details led to Hanssen's arrest.In another scene, O'Neill had to keep Hanssen away from headquarters so FBI agents could search his car. The quick-thinking O'Neill first got them stuck in a traffic jam and then convinced Hanssen to get back into the car instead of walking back to headquarters. The evidence obtained from that search included secret documents about ongoing FBI counterintelligence investigations, among other things, according to the court records. The government contended Hanssen's disclosures were among the most damaging ever to U.S. interests. O'Neill could not even tell his wife, Juliana, about the real purpose of his mission, which created tension in their new marriage. "It was very difficult to lie to her, but I was required to. That just goes with the job," O'Neill said. After Hanssen's arrest on February 18, 2001, O'Neill went back to his old job and decided to leave the FBI in May 2001. In the movie, he packed up his desk on the day Hanssen was arrested. "The hardest decision I made was to leave the FBI," O'Neill said. "I just decided that this wasn't the sort of life I wanted to live." A graduate of George Washington University law school, he now works for a law firm in Washington, specializing in national defense. The movie provided no definitive reason why Hanssen sold out his country for $1.4 million in cash and diamonds. It does have Hanssen speculating after his arrest that another American spy might have acted because of ego or an urge to expose lax U.S. security. |

1. Jailing in Russia of Supermole
Following Hanssen Arrest - Unique exposure
15/6/03 - Moscow revealed that
a Russian intelligence officer who had settled in the United States had
been lured back home and arrested.Aleksandr Zaporozhsky, a former colonel
in the S.V.R., Russia's foreign intelligence service, has been sentenced
to 18 years in jail for spying for the United States, Russian officials
disclosed.Mr. Zaporozhsky had been living in Maryland but in November 2001
was somehow induced to return to Moscow, where he was quietly arrested
and jailed.Russian news reports of his sentencing suggested that
he had been drawn into an ambush because he was suspected of helping the
United States identify and arrest Robert P. Hanssen, who admitted to being
a Russian mole inside the F.B.I. In addition to the Russian news media,
The Los Angeles Times reported on Mr. Zaporozhsky's case .Apart from the
timing of Mr. Hanssen's arrest, which occurred several months before Mr.
Zaporozhsky was seized in Moscow, there is no available evidence to support
the Russian news accounts that Mr. Zaporozhsky played a role in the Hanssen
case. C.I.A. officials declined to comment on the matter.Russian FSB investigators
believe that agents inside their own intelligence service provided information
that led to the arrests of Aldrich H. Ames and Mr. Hanssen, the two most
important Russian spies discovered in the past decade inside the American
government.In the Hanssen case, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
acknowledged that it received information from a Russian source that led
to Mr. Hanssen's arrest. That source is not the same person who provided
help in the Ames case, officials said. The Russian source in the Hanssen
case provided files and other materials from Russian intelligence archives
that identified Mr. Hanssen as a longtime spy for Moscow. Among the materials
the source provided was the plastic that Mr. Hanssen had used to wrap classified
F.B.I. documents when he left them for the Russians at clandestine drop
sites in the Washington area. After obtaining the plastic from the Russian
source, the bureau found Mr. Hanssen's fingerprints on the wrapping.
2. Jailing in Russia of Supermole After Hanssen Arrest - Russian TV Combined Video Many stories have emerged about how the CIA
tracked down Hanssen.According to this Russian version - Investigation
on Alexander's Zaporozhsky business last almost one and a half year.

be present only on in the final part. All rest - the state secret.
The head of the Center of public relations of FSB Sergey Ignatchenko said:

, or electric chair ".

Hanssen - A Hacker in KGB Defector Internet Security Firm |
Accused FBI turncoat Robert Hanssen wanted to retire into a job selling anti-hacker technology to the government to guard against double agents a former CIA director said . James Woolsey, who led the CIA under former President Bill Clinton, said Hanssen pushed for a job with Invicta Networks, a firm founded by Soviet KGB defector Viktor Sheymov to develop hack-proof computer software for U.S. spy agencies."Hanssen twice aggressively expressed an interest to Invicta executives on being employed by Invicta following his retirement from the FBI," said Woolsey, who is on Invicta's board and also serves as Sheymov's attorney.Hanssen, who allegedly used his computer expertise to hack into FBI files for secrets to sell to Moscow, also boasted to FBI colleagues about getting a big-bucks job when he retired, according to an FBI affidavit. In February 1988, Hanssen told his Soviet handlers that he could read the FBI'S files on Sheymov's debriefings, the affidavit said. More recently, "Hanssen told FBI co-workers that he was considering an offer of lucrative employment by Sheymov after retirement in April," the affidavit said. Woolsey declined to discuss the Hanssen-Sheymov connection in a brief phone conversation . But in a statement faxed to the Daily News (2001 URL) , he said Hanssen met Sheymov in the 1980s and "since that time, the Sheymov and Hanssen families indeed came to be on friendly terms." The families had little contact in recent years, but in December, Hanssen "expressed keen interest in Invicta's technology," Woolsey said.Three weeks before he was arrested Sunday, Hanssen "was briefed on the Invicta technology" as part of his official duties along with several other FBI computer experts, Woolsey said. Sheymov was a rising star and the youngest major in the KGB at age 33 when he defected to the U.S. in 1980 with his wife and daughter. His defection was considered one of the CIA's major Cold War coups. Hanssen, 56, has been charged with espionage crimes carrying the death penalty for allegedly selling secrets to the Soviets and later the Russians for at least $1.4 million in 15 years as a mole. |
