I am familiar with this case and seems to me that the article was either written by Koecher himself or by somebody who had very favorable view of him. Text is extremely biased in Koecher's favour. For more reasonable view on the subject I recommend books of Ronald Kessler, NYT and WSJ reporter, who wrote several books about Koecher and even visited him in Czechoslovakia.

I agree that the text is clearly biased. Since you write that you're familiar with the case, may I suggest that you attempt to write a more neutral version of this article. Fdedio 13:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Koecher is not the only known CIA mole...what about Aldrich Ames?
-
- I guess it is a question of semantics - Koecher came to CIA (and USA) with a pre-determined intention to be a "mole" from the get go, as oppose to Ames who betrayed the CIA because his wife told him so. So Koecher was in technical sense a mole - Ames was an ordinary traitor for a few bucks. Ross.Hedvicek 20:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
