US sees Israel, tight Mideast ally, as spy threat
Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo for the AP:
The CIA station chief opened the locked box containing the sensitive equipment he used from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel, to communicate with CIA headquarters in Virginia, only to find that someone had tampered with it. …
It was a not-so-subtle reminder that, even in a country friendly to the United States, the CIA was itself being watched.
… according to another two former U.S. officials, a CIA officer in Israel came home to find the food in the refrigerator had been rearranged.
How is this something that happens in real life and not a bad spy movie?
