But that's just it, it was Lucas' impression that Harry did nothing to get him back. In fact, that was what Kachimov told Lucas to convince Lucas to betray his country. Kachimov is hardly going to tell Lucas that every effort is being made to get him back, is he? It would rather defeat his purpose. We also have Ros telling Lucas that Harry sweated blood to get him back. Do we then believe Ros lied to him?

It's not like Harry could just ask nicely and the Russians would give up their prize. He had to wait until he had something to force their hand with, and unfortunately it took eight years.

There is no evidence that Harry didn't make every effort. People just assume that because that is what Lucas believed. So in light of this, did Harry really betray Lucas? If not, then he is entitled to make that comment.
