There'd s tathere self serving autobiography by a KGB agent who came here in the 70s and was active until the mid 80s and the main thing I gleand from that book was his rather offhand statement that he could never make any headway recruiting American leftists but found extremely suggestible conservatives.

At l4east Reade's story broke down fast enough to make her a laughing stock everywhere but Pox News. The KGB just never seemed to realize just how dumb a lot of US conservatives can be.

I just hope Reade has to stay theree and face what Putin has done to Russia.
