Spy vs. Spy, Redux

If you like spy novels, click through and read this fascinating analysis of the state of play between American and Iranian intelligence operations, in light of Iran's recent string of arrests of Iranian-American academics and journalists. The author, Mahan Abedin, cautions against assuming the innocence of the arrested academics. But then he explains exactly how it's also possible that they'd been recruited by the CIA without even knowing it, through innocuous "consultancy" outfits set up in the West. Either way, it looks like I wasn't that far off the mark.
