Had gotten tired of seeing Melton in every history channel show but this was really well done.

Hi I flew from Ireland last year to visit The Smithsonian and your Museum.I loved the Museum and staff were telling me you were moving to a bigger site.I wish you well and I hope I can fly to your new Museum.Bill from Ireland.

[@edkokosko1759]

So well done. Thank you!

It is hard to see the presentation; would have liked it to be a full-screen display. I believe Jennifer Miles is alive and well, though she is probably in her 80's today.

Might be of interest.... some 40 years ago, working as a BBC FILM cameraman, ( yes, that long ago!), I filmed an interview in a motel room adjacent to Langley, with a Czech KGB chap. He told us how Edward Heath, the former British Prime Minister, had been invited to Prague to an international organ convention. Heath was a) an accomplished musician, and b) single, with no apparent love interests, apart from music and sailing. The plan was to introduce him to a very 'pretty' and talented Czech organist, and hope that something of a blackmail situation might ensue! Photos etc. Apparently Heath droned on about yachts and music and the KGB cameraman was sent home.

Why does every senior CIA guy I know live on a cul de sac? Cuts down on the drive-bys, I guess...

A drive up round, 3 point turn, back along, by -shooting...

Great

[@pastortedkim4146]

What a scary-looking dude!

Characterizing Snowdon as a spy is ludicrous and insulting. If he was a spy who was he working for? Anyhow, this was a so so presentation. Mostly just a light review of really famous Cold War cases. What I found more interesting was the historical cases, specifically those during the Civil War.

[@doktortutankamazon31]

Go to Russia and ask him. Ask Wikileaks-Assange also. Fuck Snowden and his hard drives he gave away.

[@michaelfuchs1467]

He was no 'spy' according to my standard since spies are usually highly skilled professionals. Snowden is what's usually referred to as an 'useful idiot' and a narcissistic sob loudmouth. But also useful idiots can be recruited to perform espionage. The fact that most of the material he stole had nothing whatsoever to do with the often claimed 'privacy concerns' - and another fact: that this material 'mysteriously' disappeared during his unaccounted days in China, 10 days iirc - which would correspond pretty well with a debriefing, speaks volumes about his malignancy and eligibility for the chair in my humble opinion. I'd even throw the switch on the bastard myself if I ever got the chance to do so. Snowden can very well have been placed and groomed for the theft of the data later delivered to Chinese / Russian authorities.

[@David_Lloyd-Jones]

He was working for "We the people," protecting us from a bureaucracy run out of control, subverting the Constitution and our rights and freedoms. He was and is a hero -- and the fact that you self-declared experts don't recognize that fact shows that you are part of the current wave of threats to America.

[@phincampbell1886]

Oh hey, cool, a Monty Python reference. Yay, verily, thou shalt pull out thy grenade's pin, tosseth thy pin, and the number thou shalt count to shall be three! Not one, not two... Lobbeth thy grenade...

[@F_Tim1961]

You've missed out a certain J. Pollard and his drive to a certain embassy. (and being told no entry even though he held the right passport) .. and indeed the place where he was recruited by the Lakam business. Perhaps you might lose sponsorship?

[@KevinBalch-dt8ot]

How about the restaurant where Larry Franklin suddenly showed up to meet two employees of a lobby for “our greatest ally” were under FBI surveillance?

Snowden a spy hahahahaha made my day. Let me guess, next they'll state that Bowe Bergdahl was an American Hero!

[@David_Lloyd-Jones]

I don't have any Bergdahl in my team, but Snowden is one of the major protectors of the Constitution in our generation. Be grateful for the brave men and women who make the sacrifices, in this case his well-paid comfy career, to protect our freedoms.
