Summary: | WASHINGTON - Jailed CIA turncoat Aldrich Ames, the most destructive spy in U.S. history, has popped up as a literary critic to savage a spy thriller. Ames, who was arrested in February 1994, ridiculed "Sleeper Spy: A Novel of Deception," by William Safire, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the New York Times and a best-selling author. Not entirely unlike Ames himself, one of the novel's main characters is a KGB spy dealing in information and disinformation to confuse the old KGB, the new KGB and the CIA. |
