PHILADELPHIA: Aldrich Ames may soon have a new cell mate. On Friday, Robert Lipka (Soviet codename "Rook"), a former employee of the secretive National Security Agency was arrested on charges of spying for the Soviet Union. Oleg Kalugin, former head of the KGB's foreign counter intelligence service described Lipka in his book, 'First Directorate', calling Lipka's material "significant." During the 60's and 70's, Lipka allegedly photographed and stole classified documents and then sold them to Soviet agents. He apparently quit because he wasn't paid highly enough. TIME'S Douglas Waller says the case "will...
...kind of perp to spend his time in the joint pumping iron or tattooing his knuckles, traitor ALDRICH AMES has hit the books instead. Alas, WILLIAM SAFIRE's new novel, Sleeper Spy, was not to the former CIA man's liking; it so irked him that he knocked out a review. The Hill, a congressional weekly, heard that the review was circulating and, given Ames' unique body of knowledge, offered to publish it (for no fee). "Safire uses heavy-duty cardboard for his characters," writes Ames, adding that the plot is "preposterous." But Safire isn't hurt. "It's always...
...intelligence hasn't always been very, well, intelligent. That's the conclusion of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which has released its review of an internal CIA report concerning the impact of tainted information supplied by convicted double agent Aldrich Ames. The CIA took "an enormous risk that may have jeopardized the U.S. national security interests," the committee's report concludes, by failing to alert government officials and policymakers that some agency information was actually being provided by the KGB. Senators Arlen Specter and Bob Kerrey, who led the Senate inquiry, also faulted CIA Director John Deutch for understating impact...
...turns out that in the 1980s Moscow began playing the game just as well, creating yet another scandal for the CIA. The disclosure came last week when the agency delivered to Congress its secret report on the damage CIA mole Aldrich Ames did in spying for the Russians from 1985 to 1994. Not only did Ames send 10 of the CIA's most prized Soviet agents to their death, but his secrets also helped Moscow plant a network of at least a half-dozen double agents, who began slipping both real and bogus information to their CIA handlers. But even...
...Seems Aldrich Ames is but a starting point for CIA housecleaning. An internal CIA report of its operations released to Congress today contains shocking revelations that the agency's Soviet operation during the 1980s and early '90s was heavily infiltrated by double agents -- far more so than previously thought. Worse, the CIA developed certain strategies based on reports issued by KGB infiltrators. That resulted in millions of dollars wasted to alter military operations in response to false information. While former CIA chief Robert Gates has denied reports that CIA Director John Deutch is planning to reprimand some 12 past...
