ABSTRACT
Although electronic intelligence plays an increasingly important role in helping countries stay informed, a great deal of drama is still connected with espionage. Scarcely a week goes by without a revelation somewhere in the world that someone has been spying for another country. The expulsion of foreign agents is now so commonplace that most people attach little importance to it. What gets their notice is when one of their own people is accused of spying. This not only arouses strong feelings but can also have important domestic political consequences. This is nowhere better demonstrated than in three Norwegian spy cases.
