Re: Scott the Swede

I honestly never got the hang of what Scott was supposed to be. "A Swedish intelligent agent"? Whatever the h*ll would we be wanting with one of those? It's not as if we ever were a nation with aspirations of world domination.

Sweden has always been this neutral zone that both the US and the former USSR had interests in, but mostly to keep as a buffer between each other.

Sidetrack: one of our most famous spies for the USSR, Stig Bergling, died the other day. He was convicted in 1979, escaped prison in 1987 and fled to the USSR with his then wife, only to return a few years later.
