Once again, Ron, I agree with you. Espionage is a fact of life.

But, as usual, I have to add another 2c worth. I object to the clamor about 'racism.' If Richard directed those same comments at a German or a Russian, nobody would have anything to say except about the facts of his post. But since he's directing them to someone of a different race (or sex, or religion, or whatever) all of a sudden he's labeled 'racist' (or sexist, or anti-something). Balderdash. Being a member of a different group shouldn't earn anybody a 'free pass' for outrageous posts.

<<All nations spy. That the name of the game. And when nations have their secrets stolen, they would rather blame the pilferer of those secrets, than those who were charged with protecting them in the first place.>>
I am aware "all nations spy", and my remarks were directed not at the fact that they did it(or even are based on the the laxitudes which let them happen)rather that a guest on these shores would openly suborn and support those activities.
