Of course the US committed espionage during the Cold War. That't why it was called a "cold war" in the first place.

The difference is that there was a quid pro quo between the US and Soviet spy arms. Namely that we wouldn't execute each other's spies. We would normally exchange them at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin.

However, the agents these spies recruited were fair game and were often executed (at least by the Soviets). Aldrich Ames was personally responsible for the deaths of at least 8 high level US agents recruited within the Soviet Govt.

As for the Brit who became a double agent because he hated B-29 raids upon civilians, he might have reflected upon the British fire bombings of Hamburg and Dresden.

He must have been a Cambridge graduate who chummed around with Kim Philby and Anthony Blunt.

Regards,

Ron
