Add Nouriel Roubini [1] and at least 2 other CEOs that are not listed. It feels like we're living in Graham Greene's "Our Man In Havana" [2].

So what's this woman's real name? The AP article linked in the blog had all sorts of other info, such as her mother's name.

According to FT, you're right:

What I love the most about this whole "spy affair" is how utterly incompetent and clueless these Russian spies appear to be. I have a hunch that they were more interested in living the good life in the U.S. than serving Mother Russia's interests.

They almost sound like a honeypot: meant to be found as the spies, so the real spies can work in secret. You get the professionals, and them you get a bunch of semi-amateurs who think they are the real game and who can't reveal the professionals.

I am just not convinced. Where's the other side of the story? Are these people really spies or just scapegoats for something we do not know about yet?
