  Double agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A double agent pretends to spy on a target organization on behalf of a controlling organization, but in fact is loyal to the target organization.
Double agents may be agents of the target organization who infiltrate the controlling organization, or may be previously loyal agents of the controlling organization who have been captured and turned by the target; the threat of execution is the most common method of turning a captured agent into a double agent.
Double agents are often used to transmit disinformation or to identify other agents as part of counter-espionage operations.

An FBI agent who allegedly had an affair with a Chinese woman was indicted on charges of wire fraud and gross negligence.
Lawyers for Leung argued that FBI agents fed information to her for nearly two decades and encouraged her to give it to the Chinese government in order to obtain the trust of the Chinese in return.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A woman accused of being a Chinese double agent pleaded guilty Friday to lesser charges -- a tax violation and lying to authorities about her longtime affair with an FBI counterintelligence agent.

DOUBLE AGENT: Reporters hold up a photo of Robert Phillip Hanssen, an FBI agent who spied for Russia for 15 years, for television cameras to see.
But, overall, many observers say the outlook for FBI reform is good, mostly because Hanssen's case surprised so many agents, who had long assumed spies would never lurk in their close-knit ranks.
It was a tip-off by a Russian double agent that led the FBI to investigate Hanssen.

(CBS) A federal grand jury Thursday indicted alleged Chinese double agent Katrina Leung on charges that she illegally took, copied and kept secret documents obtained from an FBI agent who was both her chief contact and her lover.
Smith was charged with wire fraud for filing false reports to FBI headquarters about Leung's reliability and with gross negligence for allowing her access to classified material.

Still, like many lawyers who do these investigations, Levander would rather not be looked at as a government agent.

 Double Agent delayed - Ferrago
Anyway, the actual news today reveals, via a rather dry Ubisoft financial report, that Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent has been delayed, and will instead be out in September of this year.
Hey, but don't feel too bad, Double Agent is still on course to hit the PSP in March, and it seems that the delay is in fact linked to the Xbox 360, which still can't quite be provided in sufficient quantities to satiate demand (apart from in Japan, where MS can't give them away).
Ubisoft tell us that they are keen to give Double Agent a simultaneous multi-format debut, and are hoping by September that the Xbox 360 will have a much larger installed user-base.

While this germination rate may seem low, it still means that one pellet in four had the potential to contribute to the spread of knapweeds.
As Pearson and Ortega point out, this unexpected seed-dispersal pathway begins, ironically, with the very biological control agent brought in to curtail knapweed's spread.
Gall flies may still be worthy allies in the fight against knapweed, but they provide one more example of an important fact: once introduced, species become part of large ecological webs, with possibly unforeseen consequences.
