Two check offs in the life experience category: meeting international spies, and my name in the Washington Post - front page - my 15 minutes of fame. (Somehow, I expected more when my turn for the fame thing came up. Ah, well, life is all downhill from here. Sigh)
Time for you guys to write another book - good read. Again, it is exceptional no real details of what was leaked or the threat they posed in the article. Previous reports like the ones on the likes of Walker, etc ... were immediate with tones and seriousness to national security. It certainly is being downplayed by the press and the govt.

BTW Sailway, yes treason is serious - but until such actual facts are exposed that indicate the actual nature of sensitive information that was communicated, they still have the rewards of the Constitution and trial by jury. Odds may be they passed info that was easily accessible by the internet. IN the article note the quote made about "Choosing the State Department because CIA requires polygraphs" - which kinda indicates that they were not veterans of the spy trade by any means. More has been leaked out of the State Department in recent years than any spy could hope to do secretedly anyways. Not downplaying it - but I think in the end what is potentially discovered is nothing less than a couple being tricked and seduced but didn't have the real irons to be the type that Walker was.

Since you are like a governmental / constitutional type - do hope you re-think your post as without actual facts that secrets were traded - being a spy in name only isn't exactly .. well again - everything reaps romantic on the story but lacks any hard cold facts.
