Just days after President Obama shared a chummy hamburger with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev — the better to dramatize our newly “reset” relations — the FBI announced the arrest of 11 “deep cover” spies who have been paid and plied by Moscow Center for decades.

The Obama administration seemed more embarrassed about it than the Russians, rushing to reassure the world that this will not affect our new relationship with Russia one bit. Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon explained that “We would like to get to the point where there is just so much trust and cooperation between the United States and Russia that nobody would think of turning to intelligence means to find out things that they couldn’t find out in other channels.”
