There's no physical evidence - very much a "he said" etc type of thing but it definitely is easier to point to Libby as knowingly telling vs. Armitage.

I will not go see a movie in which Richard Gere is chosen to portray Wilson - no matter how much I love Richard Gere.

Breach is good - There are some points that are completely fabricated (there's one scene that when you see it you'll be like "um... I highly doubt that happened" and if you PM me after you see it I'll verify which scene is completely fabricated if you like), but it's pretty good. I've been studying Hanssen for a couple of classes this semester and didn't even know Breach was about him - I can't believe I didn't catch that it was about him in the previews I saw, in fact I didn't even know it was about a true story (I think I turned my brain off that day?).

The main thing I didn't like about it is that they didn't really get into the tradecraft of all of that... A lot of people who aren't pretty well educated as far as spying goes won't have a clue what it means to do a dead drop until they see Hanssen do is... and don't understand that even though Hanssen is completely brilliant - he's an idiot to pick that dead drop spot.
