The article mentions it, and I thought I've read this before, that some of the famous male defectors (or double agents) that defected from the US to the USSR were also homosexual lovers who stole secrets from their jobs at the CIA or other important government institutions. Does anyone have any information about which of the people listed were homosexuals? I think the percentage of defectors which were homosexual may be pretty surprising. --Foxtrot 04:40, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
