We've proven ourselves to be a nation of Stasi volunteers in waiting.

These Stasi guys were pretty good, and this one seems above average.

The Stasi prided itself on a certain crass ruthlessness that Abel lacked.

His journal had ended with a Stasi raid, but not his story.

Mentions that he burned Stasi files as Communism fell in E. Germany.

There are a lot of gaps, just as in the Stasi files.

The Stasi had about 300 informers among the artists, and cross-checked their reports.

He knew a good forger, a man who used to work for the Stasi.

The Stasi was more like a very efficient and ruthless American organized crime family.

The same sort of fellow who could illegally obtain a Stasi file, of course.

The East German Stasi would have dreamed of such technical capabilities in their day.

Lines of inquiry that led to Germany were to be investigated by the Stasi.

The last entry was made just two days before the Stasi raided the gallery.

You should know, he thought, wondering again what must be in her Stasi file.
