Circle of Treason: A CIA Account of Traitor Aldrich Ames

While there have been other books about Aldrich Ames, Circle of Treason is the first account written by CIA agents who were key members of the CIA team that conducted the intense "Ames Mole Hunt." Sandra Grimes and Jeanne Vertefeuille were two of the five principals of the CIA team tasked with hunting one of their own and were directly responsible for identifying Ames as the mole, leading to his arrest and conviction.
One of the most destructive traitors in American history, CIA officer Aldrich Ames provided information to the Soviet Union that contributed to the deaths of at least ten Soviet intelligence officers who spied for the United States. In this book, the two CIA officers directly responsible for tracking down Ames chronicle their involvement in the hunt for a mole. Considering it their personal mission, Grimes and Vertefeuille dedicated themselves to identifying the traitor responsible for the execution or imprisonment of the Soviet agents with whom they worked. Their efforts eventually led them to a long-time acquaintance and coworker in the CIA's Soviet-East European division and Counterintelligence Center, Aldrich Ames.
Not only is this the first book to be written by the CIA principals involved, but it is also the first to provide details of the operational contact with the agents Ames betrayed. The book covers the political aftermath of Ames's arrest, including the Congressional wrath for not identifying him sooner, the FBI/CIA debriefings following Ames's plea bargain, and a retrospective of Ames the person and Ames the spy. It is also the compelling story of two female agents, who overcame gender barriers and succeeded in bringing Ames to justice in a historically male-oriented organization. Now retired from the CIA, Grimes and Vertefeuille are finally able to tell this inside story of the CIA's most notorious traitor and the men he betrayed.

I'm stupider than you realize. I've got a 500 year story and only like 9 percent of the time it takes to sell it. I wasnt lying just because she didnt believe I was as stupid as I sounded. I knew for a fact I was even hiding the stupidest shit I was going to say at the exact wrong time. I'm professional at pissing chicks off. It's not my first rodeo. I've never worked in the rodeo ever

Glowie Communication Network Glowies communicate with other glowers using lights and sounds that they have loved using for decades. Don't disregard them, they could help you find the glowies who want your children!!!! Do cars drive loudly past you but not when they are at the end of the block? Do planes fly loudly over you or even when you get close to an airport, but stop when you are far enough away? Do trains blow a whistle whenever you are saying something they disagree with? Do motorcycles loudly interrupt your tv shows? Do you hear car horns honking whenever you are getting out of your vehicle? It's not an advertising company that is watching you, but the glowies and their cabal of Satan worshippers and child predators.
