-Caveat Lector- The Hanssen-Ames Connection Uncovered – A DEBKAfile Exclusive The American FBI veteran Robert Philip Hanssen, 56, charged Tuesday, Feb. 20 with spying for Moscow, and the convicted CIA super-mole Aldrich Ames have a great deal in common that the FBI director Louis Freeh did not reveal. As DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources disclose here for the first time, both were recruited to the KGB’s First Chief Directorate (foreign) by the same pair of legendary British super-spies, Kim Philby, who defected to Moscow in 1961, and George Blake who lives in Moscow to this day. Ames, convicted in 1994 to a life sentence without parole, was a senior counterintelligence officer in the CIA; Hanssen filled a similar function in the FBI. Both climbed high in their services, got away with betraying secrets and double spies for decades before they were caught. For President George W. Bush, who approved bringing the Hanssen investigation to conclusion and publishing its findings, it is important to uncover the links above and below the two men in the hidden chain of double agents and moles that still infests America’s defense system, and finally bring light to the murky events that lent the Reagan-Bush presidential era the epithet of Decade of the Spy.
