This guy reminds me of the doofus in the movie "Scavenger Hunt", who disguises himself with a bag over the head when he robs a store but forgets to cut eye-holes in it.

MCPO Roger Collins - The recent spat of catching so many spies exhibiting such poor tradecraft - first of all reminds me why we don't put desk jockeys in the field - but also reminds me about traditional institutional responses to these kinds of problems - make sure they rot in prison forever - or take them out and shoot them. I would prefer not to have disclosed a number of elements of the story - e.g. the CBP incident and the fact we obtained so many of the transmitted documents together with message fragments and transmission history from the covert communication device. But my thinking reminds me of my summer internship with Ed Teller - who was spoofed in an old movie as saying - "Deterrence is the art of producing in the enemy the fear to attack. And so, because of the automated and irrevocable process which rules out human meddling the Doomsday Machine is terrifying and simple to understand and completely credible and convincing. The point of the Doomsday Machine is lost if you keep it a secret!!! Why didn't you tell the world???" Perhaps by disclosing the extraordinary stupidity of someone who appears on paper to have so much experience with our IC details we may discourage some others from similar behavior - by making it appear the financial rewards are vanishingly small and the pervasive impact of being compromised may destroy what life remains. What I find most surprising is this guy almost as old as my generation - he had been in and around the IC for so long he should have been far better at the game - yet it seems his tradecraft was so shoddy he was caught within a very short of time before very many documents were exchanged. Or, as suggested elsewhere, this may all be a fine story to conceal discovery by other means. Then again, the Chinese who don't appreciate being disrespected and lied to about his documents - could have turned him in themselves. In any case, we caught yet another in a long line of recent Chinese military and economic spies - and we need to carefully review the incident, assess the damage and markers available to detect similar efforts, plug the holes, and terrify anyone considering spying. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)
p.s. I had my boys look into this because of the frequent mention he was USDOS/DSS - but he sounds far more like a CIA desk jockey with the arrogance and stupidity that goes with being told he is among the IC elite - without the training, experience, and skills that anyone picks up in the field in a few months in any other IC component agency. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)
