Interview with Christopher Boyce
ED BRADLEY: Last week British spy Geoffrey Prime went
to jail for giving away the most sensitive British and American
secrets. Five years ago, so did this man, Christopher Boyce.
What he had given away to the Soviets -- or, more accurately,
sold to the Soviets -- was the secret that our satellite
surveillance system was telling us just about everything the
Russians were up to. Having learned that we were listening in,
the Soviets started putting out false information. What that did
was to make our intelligence-gathering satellites virtually
useless.
Boyce is now serving 40 years for espionage at Marion
federal penitentiary. Recently we talked with him about why he
and his partner, Dalton Lee, did it.
You willingly turned that information over to the
CHRISTOPHER BOYCE: You bet.
BRADLEY: In the courts of this land, you've been tried
and convicted...
BRADLEY: ...of espionage.
BOYCE: Right.
BRADLEY: You are a traitor.
ROYCE: Uh-huh.
