(29 Jun 2010) HEADLINE: Old school spy case may freeze ties with Russia
NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOTLIST
CAPTION: The scandal over an alleged Russian spy ring erupted at a time when the White House has staked its foreign policy record on improved cooperation with Moscow. (June 29)
(b-roll of the items at Spy Museum)
it's stuff right out of the spy handbook
(FILE perhaps somebody writing something?)
old-school, Cold War-era tactics
SOT: Jack Cloonan NY FBI SPY
"Even to this this day using invisible ink is pretty hard to believe because that's been around for centuries."
(FILE people walking in train station)
bag exchanges at train stations
(FILE somebody typing on laptop)
AND a modern high-tech twist
(MORE FILE laptops)
using laptops to communicate wirelessly in close proximity
(FILE headshots or sketches of the suspects)
authorities say those are some of the ways a Russian spy ring operating in the U.S. was tasked with collecting intelligence on a laundry list of topics
(whatever the best Kremlin shot)
like U.S.foreign policy, particularly toward Russia
(FILE nuclear weapons)
information on Washington's arms reduction negotiating policy
(File Iranian weapons, or sites)
and on the approach it would take with Iran's nuclear program
SOT: Jack Cloonan ny fbi spy intv
"We can't afford to have any hostile intelligence service steal our trade secrets, understand what diplomatic initiatives we are taking, understand what our positions are on Iran, understand what our positions are going to be on nuclear proliferation, understand what President Obama is going the be discussing with Medvedev or Mr. Putin in advance."

at least some of the suspects are Russian citizens

getting orders Russian intelligence
(FILE Arlington apartment, or the Massachusetts apt Russell Contreras is feeding in)
and posing as couples, in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere, in a bid to infiltrate American society
SOT: Peter Earnest (either ID him as Intl Spy Museum or former CIA agent) "It's almost as if they are collecting gossip, they are trying to meet people who are in think tanks, perhaps in government talking about different things. You can talk to any American and they'll be happy to talk to you about Guantanamo or what happened with General McChrystal and so forth, but that's all they are gathering. It seems like an awful lot of effort and money to not get very much."
(street scene from APTN-World Russia US)
but the effect on US-Russian relations may run deeper
(FILE Obama and Medvedev at burger place)
with the arrests announced just a week after Russia's president came to Washington
SOT: Viktor Kremenyuk, director of USA-Canada Institute APTN Russia US
"The process of reset, the process of the improvement of the relations between the two big nations, which was so successfully started by their leaders,will be for some time stopped, and maybe even frozen."
(maybe back to Obama and Medvedev)
The Obama administration says the arrests won't affect the relationship
