As someone who suffers from infrequent migraines, I can attest to the fact that they are completely debilitating to me. That seems reason enough. I haven’t had the time to read this particular story but a recent one I did read claimed that this led to the retirement of a CIA officer.

This article indeed includes that detail.

Ok, but this officer can't be THAT important to U.S. goals in Russia. Let's say they did give him migraines, ok, now what? The U.S. just sends in 5 other agents with protective headgear. It just doesn't really achieve anything.
