Interesting story out of Russia, a guy working at the US embassy was caught wearing sunglasses, a blonde wig, carrying a lot of money in cash, and a note intended for a Russian agent who he was trying to flip, instructing him how to set up a gmail account for communications and offering lots of money for information.

Looks like he's going to get off light. Rather than make our spy rot in a Russian prison, Russia released photos and video of the incident, a copy of the letter, released the CIA agent back to the custody of the US Embassy, and they are now demanding a meeting with the ambassador to explain himself.
