â??Itâ??s a return to the old days, but even in the worst years of the cold war, I think there were no more than 10 illegals in the U.S., probably fewer.â??
Really? 10?

I caught that too and just figured I had missed somewhere what “illegals” actually meant in the context.[/quote]
Well obviously it’s specifically spies…but only 10? Who do they think they’re joking?
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I wonder why the arrests were made.
We knew of their existence, which doesn’t entirely neutralize the threat, but definitely eases it. As far as we know, they didn’t hand over any classified information. We don’t have enough evidence to charge them with Conspiracy to commit Espionage… The only thing I can think of is to either send a message to the Kremlin (which doesn’t seem like Obama’s MO… especially not when he regrets the timing thereof) or that they were about to recieve classified information. But from who?
Either that or the agents really were about to leave the country into retirement in whatever passes for a retirement community in Russia (Greece?) and the FBI just wanted to give a big ‘F U’ to them.
It’s a smokescreen. Double-bluff.
Look, you obviously don’t know anything about intelligence work, lady. It’s an XK red 27 technique.

So “Bam wasn’t happy,” huh? Poor Bam.[/quote]
This worried me. As much as I would love to believe we don’t actually have Russian moles in our country, I hope we never sacrifice national security because it was “bad timing” after a presidential meet and greet.[/quote]
No no no, that’s not how things are going to work in Obama’s America. We have to be extra special careful to make sure that the Ruskies don’t get mad at us when we catch them spying.[/quote]
An apology letter is forth coming…

And I know you all hate Obama and Russia and think that he should just move there so we can hate them all in one place, but really, international relations are fragile things, and I can understand why the timing might not be perfect.
Imagine if they arrested a spy ring right as their leader was visiting us. And if you think that we don’t have the same shit going on over there, you’re a fool.[/quote]
I don’t think the timing was arbitrary. They made sure it did not happen while the Russian President was here.

Not unless the FBI thought that Obama told Medvedev that their spies were being watched. Maybe this is why the FBI had to arrest them now. They were about to leave.
