	NPR - Morning Edition - Robert Hanssen book
		Hanssen was arrested last February after the FBI discovered "dead drops" where he exchanged classified information with his Russian handlers a short distance from the home he shared with his wife and six children in a Washington suburb.
		The author describes Hanssen's personality as a "fractured ego seeking recognition." Vise says that as a young boy, Hanssen was abused physically and emotionally by his father, a Chicago police officer.
		Vise says Hanssen "got to the FBI and he felt that the FBI didn't recognize his brilliance, and so he went to prove to the bureau, to the world, that he was a player.

	BookPage Nonfiction Review: Robert Hanssen
		The puzzling life of Robert Philip Hanssen, the seemingly straight-arrow FBI agent who spent 22 years spying for Russia, is the subject of two fascinating new books: The Spy Next Door by Elaine Shannon and Ann Blackman and The Bureau and The Mole by David A. Vise.
		Vise contends that Hanssen's father, a tough Chicago cop, brutalized him physically and emotionally, although the evidence of this is not wholly persuasive.
		Vise notes that after Hanssen was arrested and charged in February 2001, he said he had been driven to spying by "fear and rage," specifically "[f]ear of being a failure and fear of not being able to provide for my family." The evidence suggests there was more to it than this.

	Robert Hanssen: "Secret Passage" article by Monica Davey, Chicago Tribune magazine
		To his mother and to the world, Robert Hanssen seemed to be the portrait of conventional morality and decency--a career member of the nation's most elite law-enforcement agency, a disciplined, religious man who made daily trips to mass, and a proud and reliable husband and father of six.
		Known to most people as Bob, Robert Hanssen was the skinny boy with pale skin and a swoosh of fl hair, his narrow shoulders curved forward slightly as if to erase the height that made him stand out in class photos.
		Vivian Hanssen, perhaps indulging the natural prejudice and selective memory of a mother, remembers her son's childhood this way: "a normal life; a good, happy life for a boy in Chicago." He was a Cub Scout, she says.

	Opus Dei´s Robert P. Hanssen - Diary of a Spy
		Hanssen had spent nearly 15 years in counterintelligence work for the FBI and was at the time of his arrest a senior agent.
		Hanssen never was much of a social butterfly like some of his colleagues and took care to present himself as deeply religious and devout — hence the Bible-study and daily-prayer books he kept on his desk at the State Department, along with classified documents strewn in a seemingly haphazard but orderly way.
		Hanssen worked on many high-profile cases, such as the defection of Sheymov; he was a debriefer at the same time he was keeping his Russian handlers abreast of the debriefings.

		Hanssen, charged Tuesday with spying for 15 years on the government he swore to serve, was an apparent paradox, a man of separate and warring loyalties that seem impossible to have coexisted in one slim human frame.
		Hanssen was born April 18, 1944, in Chicago, the son of a policeman who rose to the rank of lieutenant.
		The Hanssens' son Mark is a politics major at the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas, and their son John attends law school at the University of Notre Dame.

		If Hanssen had access to some of the FBI's secrets and was selling them to the Russians, the FBI would create a new job just for him, and give him access to almost all the FBI secrets and then watch his every move.
		Hanssen had kept copies of the documents he had given his Russian contacts on his palm pilot, and he also had stored a "drop date" on it, according to O'Neill.
		Hanssen was followed to a Virginia park, where he allegedly left another packet of classified material, which was then intercepted by the FBI.

		Ex-FBI agent Robert Hanssen is expected to plead guilty to espionage charges to avoid a death sentence.
		Sources close to the investigation say Hanssen's wife, Bonnie, told investigators that her husband confessed to her in 1979 that he was passing information to the Soviets, claiming it was part of an effort to trick them.

		However, Freeh's ambitious goal to turn the FBI into a global crimefighting force was hindered by Bureau snafus, and his legacy tarnished by a mole who eluded the director even as the two attended the same church and sent their sons to the same school.

	Federal Bureau of Investigation - Press Release
		Hanssen was charged in a criminal complaint filed in Federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, with espionage and conspiracy to commit espionage, violations that carry a possible punishment of life in prison, and under certain circumstances, the death penalty.
		As the complaint alleges, Hanssen effectively used his training, expertise and experience as a counterintelligence Agent to avoid detection, to include keeping his identity and place of employment from his Russian handlers and avoiding all the customary "tradecraft" and travel usually associated with espionage.
		The investigation of Hanssen was conducted by the FBI with direct assistance from the CIA, Department of State and the Justice Department, and represents an aggressive and creative effort which led to this counterintelligence success.

	Suck.com: Secret History
		Hanssen's membership in Opus Dei, the secretive organization known for its high-pressure recruiting techniques and proud traditions of masochism, is a red herring that has swum in and out of the spy story.
		Thus, Hanssen's relationship with Galey is an almost laughably transparent attempt to affect a higher calling, to be a Platonic sugar daddy, to put himself into a sort of Father Phil role, cheating on his wife without actually cheating, and wrapping the whole matter in a dim fog of missionary gusto and saintly self-denial.
		That pointlessness is something that appears to have escaped Bob Hanssen, with his weird cultism, his moral severity, and the weirdly romanticized vision of espionage that comes through in the affidavit against him.

		Robert Hanssen, a former FBI agent arrested in February on charges of espionage for the Soviet and Russian intelligence, began spying for Moscow not in 1985 as was assumed before but as early as 1979, US-based CBS TV channel reported on Saturday, citing a source close to Hanssen's family.
		According to CBS, Robert Hanssen had to confess to his wife who at about that time began suspecting her husband of double crossing.
		On Saturday, Washington Post quoted a source close to the investigation as saying that when Hanssen's wife began to suspect that something was afoul in the way her husband was going about his work, the latter managed to dispel her suspicions by telling her a previously prepared "legend".

		Originally presented in two parts by the CBS network, Master Spy is the true story of Robert Hanssen, a disgruntled FBI agent who, for 20 years, systematically sold out his country to the former Soviet Union.
		The film depicts Hanssen (played by William Hurt) as hyper-intelligent and hyper-sensitive, frustrated by what he perceives to be the mediocrity of his fellow...
		Hanssen's self-imposed lofty standards and values are somewhat at odds with his rather kinky sexual preferences, and with his habit of spending far more than he earns.

	GlobalSecurity.org - Reliable News and Security Information
		The single biggest secret betrayed by Robert Hanssen, American intelligence officials say tonight: an operation headquartered here in the Maryland suburbs north of Washington, the supersensitive Special Collections Service, jointly run by the CIA and by the National Security Agency.
		When revealing the case against Hanssen, the FBI declined to call the program by name, describing it instead as a quote, "technical program of enormous value, expense and importance to the US Government." An intelligence researcher says revealing the technical details of the program, as the government now claims Hanssen did, would be devastating.
		Bamford says Hanssen became keenly interested in a trip he took to Moscow in the mid-1990s to interview Viktor Cherkashin, a former top KGB spy and the man the FBI now says was actually Hanssen's top handler.

		Hanssen was never polygraphed in more than two decades at the FBI while handling the most sensitive intelligence imaginable.
		Hanssen is just one in a seemingly endless string of embarrassing laspes by the FBI -- e.g., Ruby Ridge, Waco, the Bulger case up in Boston, the hundreds of missing firearms and laptop computers with classified data -- and so on.
