      One of the first female CIA case officers to serve behind the Iron Curtain, Marti Peterson, went to Moscow to be TRIGON’s handler. At the time, the KGB discounted the ability of women to conduct intel operations, so Marti went unnoticed for almost 18 months. #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/pGhza6kHtm

      Moscow was a challenging place to operate in 1974. Even finding one’s way around was difficult as Soviet-produced city maps were deliberately inaccurate. http://bit.ly/2LuYliT  For the nearly 2 years they worked together in the 70s, Marti & TRIGON never met. #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/48hnYYdfIZ

      Because meeting face-to-face was dangerous & complicated, TRIGON & Marti instead used: -signal sites -radio messages -concealments -car drops -dead drops – like fake bricks & dead rats #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/SXgeYQOo70

      Marti used a purse to conceal supplies & equipment that she transferred to TRIGON via dead drop exchanges. #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/vSmUOg6zyK

      TRIGON’s position in the Global Affairs Dep’t gave him access to incoming & outgoing classified cables to embassies worldwide. He provided sensitive intel about Soviet foreign policy plans & objectives. His reporting went to the President & senior US policymakers #ReelvsRealCIA

      June 1977: A Czech penetration of CIA gained knowledge that TRIGON was working with us; info which he passed to Czech Intel who notified the KGB. #ReelvsRealCIA

      15 July 1977: As night fell over Moscow, Marti left a concealment device in a narrow window inside a stone tower on the Krasnoluzhskiy Most—a railroad bridge near Lenin Central Stadium. It was a trap. #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/nkRGbJAClY

      A KGB surveillance team was waiting & seized Marti. They took her to Lyubianka Prison, where she was questioned for hours & photographed with the espionage paraphernalia she & TRIGON used. She was declared persona non grata & sent back to the US immediately. #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/5YPS3P7SLG

      We later learned that on 22 June 1977, Aleksandr had killed himself after KGB arrest with a pill hidden in a pen he had earlier requested & CIA reluctantly provided. #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/jax5Pti0ps

      From Marti’s memoir, The Widow Spy: “Opening the pen as if to begin writing, he bit down on the barrel & expired instantly in front of his KGB interrogators. KGB was so intent on his confession they never suspected he had poison….TRIGON died his own way, a hero." #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/KIhVYd0Y3x

      Although the story of TRIGON ended tragically, the intel Aleksandr passed to Marti & CIA gave US policymakers valuable insights into Soviet foreign policy plans & intentions. Insights & courage like this helped win the Cold War. http://1.usa.gov/28Jp87E  #ReelvsRealCIApic.twitter.com/X1WfG9HOgI

          They enjoy freedom but repeatedly attempt to deprive others of theirs, under the pretense of fighting for democracy. They collude with CCP to slander Mr. Guo who strives for a better future for China and its citizens. We love him and cannot allow Mr. Guo's reputation to be hurt.pic.twitter.com/tvUTBbMGKK

          Yeah, when Snowden comes back to America and faces charges, or accepts a plea agreement I’ll respect him. But hiding in Moscow is not what a patriot does. When you work for the NSA, you don’t get to choose what’s right/wrong. Don’t like the rules, don’t work there.

          I'm not a fan either Edward and as far as the torture techniques used Was child's play . Figure what Isis would do to our personal or operatives.
