From China With Love

In "From China With Love," this Thursday, Jan. 15 at 9pm on PBS (check local listings),
FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk delves into the tangled and still
pending case of Katrina Leung, code name "Parlor Maid," who for 20 years
served as a highly valued asset for the FBI, and whose information about
China made its way to four American presidents. Leung and her former FBI
handler, Special Agent J.J. Smith, were arrested in Los Angeles last
spring. The government believes that Leung was an agent for China and
alleges that Smith allowed her to get her hands on sensitive classified
documents. But there's more to it than that. Leung and Smith, both
married, were more than asset and handler: they were lovers.
We hope you'll join us Thursday night, and on the Web following
the broadcast, where you'll find more on the Parlor Maid case, a look
inside the FBI's counterintelligence operations, analyses of China's
espionage tactics, and a chance to join the discussion, at
