Popular Mechanics: Historians Unmask Fourth Soviet Spy Who Worked on the Atomic Bomb
Just what nuclear secrets did "Godsend" deliver to Russia in the 1940s?
* Historians have unmasked a fourth Soviet spy who worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory during nuclear bomb development in the 1940s.
* Los Alamos is still one of the foremost nuclear research facilities in the world.
* The fourth spy was much more involved in high-level explosives research than historians could extrapolate before.
The New York Times reports that historians have unearthed a new, fourth Soviet spy who worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory during development of nuclear bombs in the late 1940s. During that time, the Soviets developed their own nuclear bomb prototype by 1949, indicating someone working from the inside of U.S. nuclear research. Codenamed “Godsend,” this spy worked closely with the development of explosive triggers for nuclear bombs.
The spy was named Oscar Seborer, and although he was originally uncovered by 1956 at the latest, those papers were only declassified late last year. In the meantime, historians had used other evidence to put together a case that there was a fourth spy, codenamed Godsend, who was working at Los Alamos. They published their findings in a CIA journal called Studies in Intelligence.

McCarthy was right.
Thanks guys, you saved the peace!
no. FDR and Truman et al won the war and yes there were commies embedded and yes there were american spies there too and no you are wrong because McC a drunken nutter
The worst that can be said about McCarthy is the means he used not the ends. He was correct about the number of communists.
Somehow Young Communist forgets how the Soviet Union put down the peoples of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, etc. Likely Young Communist is upset that he wasn't a tank driver running over women and children people in the streets of Prague or Budapest. Born after his time to his permanent lament.
