When Iran Recruits Your Iran Experts
from My Weird Prompts
Former DIA contractor Melanie Witt just pled guilty to sharing highly classified information with Iranian intelligence — including the identities, locations, and activities of US intelligence officers and sources. This episode unpacks the damage: burned case officers, compromised source networks, and a chilling effect on recruitment that could last a generation. We also explore the psychology of ideological defection — how deep cultural expertise, rather than inoculating analysts against recruitment, can become the very vulnerability that adversaries exploit.
