Eric Walberg - Aldrich Ames Will Go Down in History as a Traitor Who Spied For the Soviet Union During the Cold War

Eric Walberg - Aldrich Ames Will Go Down in History as a Traitor
Who Spied For the Soviet Union During the Cold War

2 days ago

Aldrich Ames was accused and convicted of working for America’s
primary foreign adversary in the Cold War, the Soviet Union and was
given a life sentence, which he is currently serving in Terre
Haute, Indiana, as prisoner #40087-083.

Very few people today would celebrate what Ames did—and for good
reason. Nevertheless, Ames became fed up with the hypocrisy and
criminality of the CIA and U.S. government policy in the Cold War,
and aimed to expose the bankruptcy of the Cold War and the ideology
of American exceptionalism.
