Spying

Yesterday in every site that has international news there was an unusual title: Four Russian officers are charged with spying, as tensions between Russia and Georgia escalate.
Is that  something new?
Didn’t we already know that officers from secret agencies aree spying in foreign countries?
Why every site has it as a headline?
Should we be surprised that four officers were caught when there are thousands in the whole world spying in foreign countries?
I believe that the important thing in this case is not that four officers were arrested but the fact that they were Russian officers who were spying in Georgia. If we, also, consider that Russia and Georgia don’t have the best relations lately then we can understand why this case is special.
So, the most important thing is from where every case comes and not so much its content.
