No one's interested really in knowing what policies or diplomatic initiatives or arms negotiations might have been compromised by me.

I'm a traitor, but I don't consider myself a traitor.

I said in court a long time ago that I didn't see that the Soviet Union was significantly helped by the information I gave them, nor that the United States was significantly harmed.

No one's interested really in knowing what policies or diplomatic initiatives or arms negotiations might have been compromised by me.

The Soviet Union did not achieve victory over the West, so was my information inadequate to help them to victory, or did it play no particular role in their failure to achieve victory?

The only thing I ever withheld from the KGB were the names of two agents whom I personally had known and handled and had a particular feeling for.

To the extent that I considered the personal burden of harming the people who had trusted me, plus the Agency, or the United States, I wasn't processing that.
