As with their literary equivalents, television spy stories may be similarly divided into the romantic and the realistic, although as one might expect, there is considerable overlap.
Finally, those spy stories that, for whatever reason, could not be domesticated, such as adaptations of bestselling spy thrillers, generally ended up on cable or PBS, or on network television as TV movies and miniseries.
Spies were everywhere--in books, on records, on the big screen and the little screen, and their images were emblazoned on countless mass produced articles from toys to toiletries.

 CAMERA: Spy Stories
Even the 9/11 terror attacks spurred bizarre stories claiming that Israel somehow had prior knowledge of the attacks, either because its intelligence is supposedly so good that it knows everything, or because Israeli spies in the United States had allegedly been monitoring the Arab hijackers for months.
Israeli officials strongly denied that they were spying against the United States, and also denied that they were familiar with anyone code-named "Mega." As the officials explained, however, the Hebrew term for the CIA sounded something like "Mega," perhaps explaining the confusion.
Spy stories and allegations always garner banner headlines and television "exclusives" if Israel is involved, but the reality is that most such cases fade away for lack of any credible evidence.

Kim Young-hwan, one of the most prominent leaders of pro-Pyongyang 1980s student radicals who called themselves jusapa (juche ideology faction), is reported to have confessed that he was a spy for Pyongyang.
Kim said he was then taken to the North on a semi-submersible spy vessel and there joined the ruling Workers' (Communist) Party, received a medal and met Kim Il-sung - who directed him to undertake development of a pro-Pyongyang underground and start a legal political party in the South.

 Singapore fury at TV spy stories
It is understood Australia refused requests by the Singaporean authorities to publicly repudiate the spying claims, based on Australia's long-standing policy of refusing to comment on security-related issues.
Singaporean officials are believed to regard the ABC reports as politically-motivated and part of a broader campaign to block increased Singaporean investment in Australia - particularly the takeover by the government-owned Singtel of Cable and Wireless Optus, which last week won Foreign Investment Review Board approval.
In its statement, the Singaporean Foreign Ministry said it was surprised and disappointed that Lateline had repeated the "baseless" spying allegations last week in a program that also interviewed the exiled former Singapore Opposition leader, Francis Seow.

Ashraf Marwan, son-in-law of former Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, is shrugging off as "an absurd detective story" claims that he was 'The Source,' the legendary top agent for Israeli intelligence who warned Mossad chief Zvi Zamir of the imminent Egyptian attack in the 1973 Yom Kippur war.
The story that might embarrass him most is the report long floated by French intelligence that Marwan and Sadat's wife had an affair when they had adjoining suites at the Plaza Athenee in Paris.

There is some question about the source and validity of this story, but some of this is also mentioned in a CIA report: The Farewell Dossier, though it is not clear there whether it was control software or defective turbine designs that did the pipeline in.
