Espionage appears to be a dirty business. If Laverenty Beria had defected to the West, we would have welcomed him.

It's one thing to defect and be willing to expose the evils of Communism or Nazism.

These Nazi SS killers remained hardcore Nazis. some of them even working for Arab régimes hoping to 'finish the job'.
