WASHINGTON – In the end, it left me scratching my head.
Russian spies. Huh. So 60s. So Sputnik-era like.
Forgive me, but some how, with al Qaeda and every other hell-bent-to-destroy-America group out there, Russian spies don’t seem all that threatening.
Nonetheless, the FBI arrested 10 last week. And on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the spies pleaded guilty to conspiring to serve as unlawful agents of the Russian Federation.
In exchange, Russia agreed to release four imprisoned people who had contact with Western intelligence agencies. Not a bad trade, I guess.
But I would have held out for a good borscht recipe, too. At this junction, good cold borscht certainly makes far more sense than a warmed over Cold War.
