The Department of Justice has released its unclassified executive summary of A Review of the FBI’s Performance in Deterring, Detecting, and Investigating the Espionage Activities of Robert Philip Hanssen. Interesting reading. Given the fact that I had been a lowly security manager at the Office of the Legislative Assistant to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, I found it fascinating and stupefying that Hanssen was able to continue his treacherous activities for so long without getting hammered. I only held a Secret clearance and I was looked at long and hard on a regular basis, just like everyone else in my position. This guy should have been caught years ago. A lot of people screwed the pooch on this one.
