Simm and his wife Heete, using a Cold War-era radio transmitter, allegedly offered classified information including the alliance's plans on Kosovo's independence, U.S. missile defence and the recent conflict between Russia and Georgia.

Officials say Simm, who is a former Estonian chief of police, was uncovered when his Russian handler attempted to recruit another Estonian official. That person reported the offer to NATO authorities.

Simm is expected to be arraigned early next year and if found guilty, could face up to 15 years in prison.

Can God go threw needle?

People blame, that there is a lot of propaganda. I agree, but there are a lot of (enough) clear facts and propaganda can't cover them. So only point, what worries me is, that nobody want to see and touch this facts to work on them. As for many, propaganda may is not something they would like, but still it gives them (every side and involved and not involved parties) feeling of safeness. Propaganda is coat where they all the countries and officials and organizations etc. can hide. To do things are difficult. They can't and don't want to take their part responsibility. To 'investigate' is easy. Endless fight about: And who was the first, egg or chicken? Can God go threw needle? Until there are no answers on this questions, until we have different answers, but can't decide, until Russia keeps 'peace' and we all keep peace with Russia and Georgian government keeps his mouth now shot ... people die ... but everything has 'explanation' we could (?) do something, but we can't (?) until we are investigating and clearing questions mentioned above.
