Snowden recalled how US intelligence would get guys caught on drunk driving charges before turning them. If course kiriakou said straight up bribes were more common
That's NOT why. US Intelligence generally avoids coercive methods of recruiting foreigners to spy for us, and has for a long time. They're not needed. CIA's dirty little secret is that the the majority of its valuable assets are walk-ins, what Russians call "volunteers": foreigners who show up at a US diplomatic facility or similar seeking to pass/sell secrets. They come to us.
