WNU,
Sutyagin, I've heard that name before, but it seems from a while back. His bio as a think tank guy rings no bells with me. Do you who he is?
it is a common name, but it did not ring a bell. I googled him ... works for a think tank in London. Was arrested in 1999 for treason in Russia. Spent 11 years behind bars and was released in a spy swap.
