This investigation into the case of accused FBI traitor Robert Hanssen includes his troubling private pursuits--pornographic postings on the internet, sharing nude photos of his wife with a buddy, and his friendship with a stripper. These activities should have set off bells within the FBI, yet Hanssen went years without being discovered--in which time it is said that he caused great harm. Author Vise traces the career of FBI Director Louis Freeh, and compares and contrasts it with that of former agent Hanssen. AUTHOR: David A. Vise
