Sex, Lies, and a Fake Videotape?

kyle_hatcher092509.jpgThis story about a kompromat sex tape made of a U.S. diplomat in Russia is spreading like wildfire across the internets.  Kyle Hatcher, a relatively young diplomat posted to the U.S. Embassy to liaise with religious groups in Russia, was allegedly filmed in a hotel room, and then the tape cuts to someone in the act with an alleged prostitute.  The full tape has lots of added extras, like alleged tapped phone calls and very bad synthesizer saxophone music to sleaze it up.

So far, everything looks far from accidental.  The video was posted up to the same web site which had previously used a kompromat sex tape to discredit and eliminate James Hudson of the UK Foreign Office, and links were directly delivered to newspapers (notably the loyal Komsomolskya Pravda) which concocted a salacious tale of a covert CIA agent caught in the dirty act.
