Was Folger involved with Elizabeth's transfer to Chinese prison?


Does anyone else think Folger was involved with the kidnapping/transfer deal of Elizabeth Hadley to the Chinese prison? At the end of the movie before Robert Redford (Muir) leaves the conference room table, Harker asks Muir if he acted alone in brokering the deal to give Hadley to the Chinese in exchange for a U.S. spy/citizen - which he does state "yes."

However, the camera shot goes to Folger where he looks a little uneasy about what Muir might say...then the camera shots go back and forth between Muir and Folger where it seems like perhaps Muir was keeping Folger out of it given that they go way back.

Anyhow, something I noticed and was curious if others did too...and if maybe there is some back story to it.

Yes.

I bought DVD, in a delete scene reveals he is the one.

That's interesting. I'd assumed from what we saw that Muir (Robert Redford) was not solely responsible but had/chose to keep that between himself and Folger.
