Bibles! Such uppity bromide!
Such drivel! Doctrines crosseyed!

We are using the Koran now,
like proper English gentlemen.

At least everbody knows it,
so it can't cause a divide.

#2 June 13, 1985. In his fourth-floor office at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, [Aldrich Ames] wrapped up five to seven pounds of secret documents and walked out of the building. He drove across the Potomac River to Washington, D.C. and entered Chadwicks restaurant, where he handed the docx to a Soviet Embassy official named Sergei Chuvakhin. The agents he betrayed that day included Oleg Gordievsky, Sergei Bokhan, and Leonid Poleshchuk.
But the CIA and FBI debriefers soon recognized a glaring anomaly... It was clear that those three agents had fallen under suspicion in May 1985—before Ames insists he handed over the documents.
Thirty Years Later, We Still Don't Truly Know Who Betrayed These Spies [despite a CIA] search for the source. That raised a possibility that remains, even today, a subject of deep concern among counterintelligence agents, a problem privately acknowledged but little discussed publicly: That the three agents may have been betrayed by a mole inside U.S. intelligence whose identity is still unknown.
