Description
Jeffrey Kahn, Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University. In June 2010, journalists for the Associated Press reported the arrest of 10 individuals alleged to be Russian spies in the United States. Seeking to convey the magnitude of this event, the journalists wrote in the first paragraphs of their article that this “blockbuster series of arrests” might even be as significant as the FBI’s “famous capture of Soviet Col. Rudolf Abel" in 1957.
