US Intelligence recently caught 10 Russian spies actively spying undercover in the US. Less than one week after capture there is talk of releasing those 10 spies in exchange for 4 westerners being held by Russia. Suddenly “justice” is swift when you are a spy.
Who is being duped? Barack Obama? The American People?
And by who? Russia? Barack Obama?
Such a quick escape…er release of 10 Russian spies logically goes beyond preventing a proper interrogation. A quick release strongly protects Russia in direct contravention to the USA’s best interests. Premature releasal of these Russian spies will compromise US national security. Prior to releasing these spies it is critical to determine their release will not bring irreparable harm to America.
Before these spies are released national security mandates a proper interrogation. America must learn everything possible from these spies before we return them to our enemies. Once these spies are released our enemies will be free to extract all the information these spies collected. We do not know the extent of the knowledge they possess. We do not know the harm their possession of such information can bring. Before we release these spies we must know everything they know or be certain they can bring us no harm.
Our national security is at stake. If these spies learned our airport security, they could crash planes into buildings. If these spies learned our power grid, they could knock out power across this nation. If these spies learned our food distribution, they could poison our food supply killing millions. If these spies studied our security procedures, they could target attacks where they detect vulnerabilities killing tens of millions. How many Americans could those spies murder? What do these spies know?
Before these spies are released national security mandates a thorough investigation. Simply questioning these spies is negligent. A thorough investigation is desperately needed. We already know one additional spy exists and has evaded capture. We must make certain the entire network of spies has been brought down. We must investigate any of these spies’ contacts. We must thoroughly review anywhere they have gone. We must make sure they have not deposited a mountain of data that they are waiting to retrieve.
We must make sure America is kept safe. Perhaps one of these spies has dropped off a package, but only needs to tell their contact where to retrieve it. Perhaps one of these spies uploaded classified military files to a secret web server and is waiting to return to mother Russia to type in the location. We must make sure they are not waiting to tell the twelfth spy where the detonator for a nuclear bomb hiding in a US city is located. We must make sure all 10 spies are not in the middle of any such plots or worse. Prematurely releasing these spies will ensure nothing related to our security.
Not only should we know what these spies know and the extent of their spy network, we must know what their knowledge is worth, especially to our enemies. We must know what they were planning.
I don’t want to question President Obama’s motives or intelligence, but perhaps we should question both.
Mr. Obama, what is your motive to so quickly return spies to the people who sent them to spy against us?
Mr. Obama, is your decision to quickly return these spies an intelligent decision?
Mr. Obama, you have very serious questions to answer.
Trading 4 fully interrogated westerners in exchange for 10 Russian spies we have not had a week to question stinks. We have yet to find the 11th spy, so we cannot possibly know all these spies know.
What will we get if we catch the 11th spy? Is there a 12th spy?
Someone is getting duped.
