definition and cause and effect writing patterns.

Espionage is a high-risk criminal offense. The traitor must fear arrest for the

rest of his or her life, as the statute of limitations does not apply to espionage.

Former National security Agency employee Robert Lipka was arrested in 1996-thirty years after he left NSA and twenty-two years after his last contact with Soviet intelligence. There are four principal ways by which spies are

detected: Reporting by u.S. sources within the foreign intelligence service, routine counterintelligence monitoring, a tip from a friend or spouse, or the traitor's own mistakes.

Of the Americans who held a security clearance who have been arrested

for espionage, about half were caught as a result of information provided by a

defector from the foreign intelligence service or an agent or friend within the foreign service that the spy was working for. People who betray their country

often have little fear of being caught because they think they are smarter than

everyone else. They think they can easily get away with it. However, no matter

how smart or clever a spy may be, he or she has no protection against U.S.

Government sources within the other intelligence service.

If the spy is not reported by sources within the other intelligence seryice, there is a strong likelihood of detection through routine counterintelligence
