The (alleged) Russian Spies

[bung]

What's everyone's thoughts on the matter? How do you think it will pan out?

Admittedly, I've been somewhat distracted to read much about it:

Whole thing screams of 'wait, what? Really?' to me. It sounds more like a bad comedy than real life. Especially since it's not the 1970's-80's anymore.

Generally, i'd reckon one would find this more intimidating that Anna Chapman. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZHqP0HdUIY)

they might have been spies, but if they were it doesn't seem like they were very good ones.

I think this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/middle_east/10456502.stm) little-discussed bit of news is more intriguing.

Man, US intelligence is a joke sometimes. Last December an Al-Qaeda operative blows up in their face during the guy's very own birthday party. It's also amazing that one of the suspects was able to get out on bail. I know it's Interpol's fault that one of the spy suspects gotta away but you think they could have pulled some strings so he doesn't get out on bail.
