The A-Team
Brett Lethbridge
In February ASIO spy chief Mike Burgess reported that a retired politician had been recruited several years ago by a group of foreign spies that ASIO designated ‘the A-Team’. While the identity of the politician was not revealed, it is unlikely it was soldier of fortune Sergeant Bosco Albert (‘BA’, or Bad Attitude) Baracus, played by Mr T in the hit 1980s television show The A-Team.
