My Take
Aldrich Ames is a name that makes my skin crawl. Born in River Falls, Wisconsin, educated at George Washington University, he sat at the heart of American counterintelligence as a CIA officer, and then sold his country to the Soviet Union and Russia as a double agent. The cruelty is in the consequences, the agents he exposed who were arrested and even executed because of what he traded away. He died in 2026, and I regard him as a tragedy rather than a villain alone. A man at the core of trust converted that trust into cash, and his intelligence became the instrument of his ruin. It is a name worth remembering as a warning.
