Her code name was "Parlor Maid." She was a spy whose information
about China found its way to four American presidents. For 20
years, Katrina Leung's handler was a freewheeling FBI agent named
J.J. Smith. But "Parlor Maid" and J.J. were more than agent and
asset: they were lovers. Last April, the government claimed "Parlor
Maid" was a double agent - spying for China with the help of her
lover J.J. - and the two were arrested. FRONTLINE investigates a
story of sex, secrets, risk, patriotism and power, and explores how
U.S. intelligence about China has been seriously compromised.
