How about the Americans who gave atomic bomb secrets to the Russians?

"His saboteurs can't deliver the bomb secret, I'm certain, but they might pass it to another source for delivery."

Terle was the key man, yes, but we still don't know how he intended to get the bomb secret.

"He means you can't get the bomb secret back to Li-Hu," York broke in.

Did he suspect that he had lost the bomb secret?

He was also responsible for intelligence and security operations that kept the development of the atomic bomb secret.
