If his FBI colleagues had been asked to rate him by your above criteria, he probably would have been in the high 200s all across the board. And maybe deservedly so. But since those factors weren't in any way, shape, or form relevant to the fact that he was also the kind of person who could sell out his country for the sheer pleasure of the game of it, he got away with murder for years until he got careless and his shitty tradecraft finally caught up with him." His tradecraft was rather good I thought,especially in not trusting his handlers with direct contact.Possibly he was done in by sex addiction common to many repressed septic tanks(yanks) W.Reichs,mass psychology of facism describes syndrome.Also wanted on some level to get caught,much like Ted special K.(and USAma bin laden?) Did he really get away with murder? Feh.Aldrich ames did and his rep survived polygraphs so reputations are bollocks unless panocoptincons and regular stings/tests are done.Hanssen didnt tell the russkies anything they couldnt have worked out them selves.
