Loose women sink ships? U.S. Marines in the Seychelles were shown photos of Russia's sexiest suspected spy during a counterintelligence briefing, as a reminder to avoid sexy women who would seduce them and steal national secrets. [SpyTalk]

Wanna know what it's like to spy for Russia? Court papers spelling out accusations against the 10 people arrested as Russian agents on Monday detail some very movie-like espionage techniques, including code words, "brush passes" and fake IDs.

Polish authorities say they have arrested Uri Brodsky, an alleged Israeli intelligence agent, for his part in the killing of Hamas military commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January. Germany wants him extradited for using a forged German passport. [BBC]

The Times just published probably the most detailed account yet of the FBI's surveillance of Faisal Shahzad leading up to his capture. No mention of Army intelligence or spy planes. As the Times tells it, the FBI straight-up lost him.

Faisal Shahzad's car bomb sucked, but the technology that caught him was cutting-edge: Army intelligence planes scrambled over New York, armed with Shahzad's cell phone number. They intercepted his call reserving a plane ticket to Dubai; authorities nabbed him.

Today, Wikileaks caused a splash with its attack helicopter video. But the group also quietly backed down from their more alarming claims of U.S. spying. Plus, "man date" discoverer and former Times reporter Jenny 8 Lee's apparent Wikileaks connection.

If the U.S. is in fact spying on the secret-sharing website Wikileaks.org, it is related to their possession of a classified video of a U.S. air strike in Afghanistan. They will screen this video Monday. What will it show?

Tuesday night, the secret-sharing website Wikileaks.org accused the U.S. government of conducting an "aggressive surveillance" operation on its editors. In an email, a Wikileaks editor provided some new details about this alleged surveillance, including tails, detentions and covert photography

Wikileaks.org is a website legendary in certain circles for posting documents people want hidden from the world. The Pentagon is not a fan. Now, Wikileaks is accusing the U.S. of spying on its editors.

The ongoing cyber war between the military and the CIA is getting nasty, with the agency crying foul after losing its favorite terrorist message board. And now Saudi princes and Texans are being dragged into the fight, too.

The Pentagon is upset with the non-profit website WikiLeaks.org for publishing documents it says are a "threat to the US Army" — like hiding Gitmo prisoners from the Red Cross — and for being supported by the CIA. Huh? [NYT]

This is Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, the Jordanian triple-agent who killed seven CIA agents (and Blackwater contractors!) last week. It is quite the story!

Here are the best bits from former NBC News reporter Irving R. Levine's FBI file, which tells the story of the KGB's attempt to recruit him as a spy and the FBI's detailed surveillance on his personal affairs.

Former NBC News reporter Irving R. Levine, who died last year, was a hilariously nerdy TV presence: A soft-spoken, bow-tied mensch. So it's surprising to learn, via declassified FBI files, that he deftly parried KGB attempts to blackmail him.

What are state secrets worth to a NASA scientist? In the case of Stewart David Nozette, undercover agents posing as Israeli intel were able to get the price down to around $10 grand. What a bargain!

So much honey trap news this week! A Russian "news website" with no known reporters that most believe is a front for the modern KGB (basically Russia's Politico) posted a curious "sex tape" involving a US diplomat.

There are many perils to life in Congress: the humidity, town halls yelling... But worst must be when screw-loose ex-staffers go over to the opposition and accuse you of betraying your country to Turkey while having a lesbian affair.

Uh oh! The magical computer formulas that allow Goldman Sachs to continue making money, forever, as the world burns, have been stolen and sent to Germany! The FBI has arrested a Russian immigrant who used to work for Goldman.

Congresswoman Jane Harman took to the airwaves to defend herself against the charge that she conspired with a "suspected Israeli operative" to quash an espionage prosecution against former AIPAC employees. It didn't go so well.

How many hot-buttons does the news that the NSA wiretapped Congresswoman Jane Harman involve? Let's count: 1) public corruption, 2) "Israel Lobby" espionage, 3) intelligence agencies spying on lawmakers and 4) Bush's hyper-politicization of everything.
