Heads of Intelligence Service becoming heads of state is nothing new, as CIA’s George Bush and KGB’s Vladimir Putin immediately pop to mind.
But more and more, today’s Intelligence Chiefs from the world’s superpowers – while still in command of the intelligence apparatus – have stepped out of the shadows and are doing diplomatic work or simply openly appearing in the media with a renewed force.
CIA Director, Ambassador William J. Burns, for example, develops parallel diplomatic efforts alongside State Department.
Besides the Agency, the Israeli Mossad chief is also involved in negotiations to free the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
It stands to reason that it wouldn’t be much different with Russian Foreign Intelligence Service SRV’s head Sergey Naryshkin.
