When I still was a member of the Defense Department I had a requirement to report any contact with certain persons of foreign countries. Usually this was not an issue. Yet I once found out that one of the people we were socializing with actually worked for the inteligence service of his native country. Australia as I remember. I reported the association and was told not to worry. But also informed that even our allies have been know to spy on us!

Is this as sugested by the Russians a change in US poliecy?

Is it possible that the Russians were spying on some other country's behalf?
