Yes, this is presumably why 20/20 included the item in the show, as well as the NSA buzzword. The young FBI snitch was bouncing with glee at being on national TV -- after leaving the FBI he's studying to be a media-eroticized lawyer. Better to highlight sexual proclivities of enemies of the state, domestic or global, than investigate and disclose why they succeed in violating piss-poor national security -- or so the 20/20s market. Sexual scandal trumps all, but isn't this the West Coast marketing image shallowness against East Coast faux Euro-depth. Euros and their faux deep thinkers love the western for its bountiful romantic escapism from subtlety. Horses, guns, right and wrong, winners and losers, the USA v. the World. Simple-minded erotic pleasures, silliness writ larger than the wee woeful penis. Hanssen is us, or at least those who harbor dreams of conquest.
