why is former F.B.I. agent Robert Hanssen in ADX Florence?
Q. From what I have read on the case, and him in general, he was never a violent individual. He had no criminal record before the espionage, and he had no escape attempts while in jail before trial. In fact, he pleaded guilty and cooperated, so why is he held in such a high level facility? Aldrich Ames cooperated even less, and he is not in ADX Florence.

A. He got people killed. Punishment for treason is the death penalty. He's lucky he plead out.

A. Ah yes, the Dems favorite President. The largest tax hike ever (until the Dems succeed with their latest proposal) Reduced the armed forces to just enough people for honor guards for visiting dignitaries. Just about eliminated the CIA. Passed up 3 chances to get Osama handed to him on a silver platter. However had a damn good time in the oval office, what with willing interns and all.

what would three results of a spy war be and how would it affect you?
Q. The risks of espionage vary. A spy breaking the host country's laws may be deported, imprisoned, or even executed. A spy breaking his/her own country's laws can be imprisoned for espionage or/and treason, or even executed, as the Rosenbergs were. For example, when Aldrich Ames handed a stack of dossiers of CIA agents in the Eastern Bloc to his KGB-officer "handler," the KGB "rolled up" several networks, and at least ten people were secretly shot. When Ames was arrested by the FBI, he faced life in prison; his contact, who had diplomatic immunity, was declared persona non grata and taken to the airport. Ames's wife was threatened with life imprisonment if her husband did not cooperate; he did, and she was given a five-year sentence. Hugh… [cont.]

A. 1. It would be harder to travel into and out of other countries without intense scrutiny. 2. The government would lose access to a lot of good intelligence, meaning that it conducts foreign and military policy in an even more boneheaded fashion than usual. 3. I have a slightly better chance of getting a job, as the CIA will snatch more talented people out of the employment pool to replace agents they lost.
