“In 1981, an unidentified Soviet scientist approached an American journalist in Moscow and handed him a mysterious package. Sometime later the package found its way from the journalist to the CIA. The journalist asked for and received a pledge of secrecy from the agency…the package was an intelligence windfall. Analysts at the CIA’s Office of Scientific and Weapons Research examining the 250 pages contained in the package found data on the Soviet strategic weapons program that had until then been the subject of only the most speculative analysis. The level of detail and precision in the documentation could redraw American assessments of Soviet nuclear weapons development…the Soviet weapons experts inside the US intelligence community were unanimous: The information included in the package was simply too sensitive, too revealing, to be disinformation designed to confuse the West. The information was so good, in fact, that the anonymous volunteer held the promise of being one of the most highly prized sources the CIA might ever obtain on the Soviet nuclear target.”
Russia could score even more points than it has recently around the globe by offering to exchange Evan for Julian Assange. Fair minded people everywhere already know the persecution of Assange is an assault on justice.
This stinks of a CIA credibility piece....not prepared to believe even a single word emanating from that deeply troubled clandestine service agency.......and, more bollocks on the way.
Moral of the story for journalists working in Russia: Don't do anything that could possibly be construed as spying. Do your job to research and report on news stories, nothing more. It's the big ego some have that leads them into these complicated and potentially criminal situations.
Evan may not be as valuable as Julian for an exchange at the moment. Let's see how US MSM reports on Evan and his importance which will reveal his level of value to the US Gov.
Know all clown Larry Johnson insists Gershkovich cannot possibly be a spy and should be released immediately as it makes Russia 'look bad' in the west.
