Investigators do not think it is as extensive as the havoc caused by CIA mole Aldrich Ames, who was convicted in 1994 of passing intelligence to Moscow over a nine-year span. But the agency's code-breaking capabilities are among its most guarded secrets, and Groat could face death if convicted. A nation hostile to the U.S. that learned of the penetration would quickly change its codes. "This also could be a huge embarrassment," said a CIA source, if the nation Groat leaked...
