Real-life Espionage Incidents Discussion

This is a case of the CIA being too arrogant in my opinion. All it took was good old spycraft to link everything together. I would also assume it's probably not as devastating as the papers are making it look. Hezbollah probably did nab quite a few of the CIA's assets but I would assume most of the network in place would have been hidden behind proxies. The fact is that Hezbollah probably had less to do with this than the MINS in Iran. They probably were the ones to piece most of it together, then they let Hezbollah take the credit for it because it would look far more damaging to have a terrorist wing bring down the CIA network than any intelligence agency in the region. The CIA on the other hand can let Hezbollah think it has the upper hand still while reinforcing their position in the region and biding their time.
