WASHINGTON -- The FBI is accusing Aldrich Hazen Ames, the CIA officer arrested on espionage charges this week, of betraying at least 10 Soviet citizens working for U.S. intelligence, government officials said yesterday. All were convicted of treason and executed in Moscow by the Soviet authorities, they said.The agents said to have been identified by Mr. Ames included the first two intelligence officers the FBI had ever recruited from the Soviet Embassy in Washington and a senior Soviet counterintelligence official in Moscow responsible for catching U.S. spies.

WASHINGTON -- The CIA has determined that its espionage operations inside the Soviet Union and Russia in the 1980s and early 1990s were riddled with double agents who fed streams of disinformation back to the United States, going undetected for years until after Soviet mole Aldrich H. Ames was arrested.What's more, some CIA officials may have realized that their operations had been compromised by the Soviets -- and failed to inform the White House or senior U.S. policy makers of just how badly U.S. spy operations had been penetrated.

WASHINGTON -- Federal prosecutors are preparing to indict Aldrich H. Ames and his wife, Rosario, on espionage charges this week as part of a plea agreement that is close to being reached, people involved in the case said yesterday.Mr. Ames, a career Central Intelligence Agency officer who has been accused of being one of the most damaging double agents in modern times, is expected to receive a life sentence as part of a plea bargain.Intensive negotiations that have been under way since March are nearly complete.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- On a simple white board with Masters-green letters, just an easy stroll from the Augusta National Golf Club entrance, the names of champions and contenders began to appear. Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara, the 1998 champion, were practicing with the Masters rookie Sean O'Hair. Ernie Els and Sergio Garcia were taking their swipes together. David Duval was playing alone. It was the first day of work at the 70th Masters, which begins Thursday, and the golfers were trying to psych themselves up for the 7,445-yard test.

Hot on the heels of Jose Canseco's controversial book on baseball and steroids, agent Doug Ames is pitching a tell-all football book by the Columbia, S.C., doctor under a federal steroids investigation. "It will shock a lot of people," Ames said yesterday from New York, where he and Dr. James Shortt have been visiting book publishers. Shortt is under investigation by state and federal authorities for prescribing steroids. CBS News reported last week that three players with the Carolina Panthers filled testosterone prescriptions issued by Shortt two weeks before they played in the February 2004 Super Bowl.

WASHINGTON -- On a balmy evening last September, all the world seemed to know that the superpower Cold War was over. Four years earlier, the Berlin Wall had fallen, and just a week earlier the United States and Russia had agreed to jointly design and build an international space station.But on the leafy residential streets two miles northwest of the White House on the evening of Sept. 9, the game of spies was continuing. FBI agents with video cameras were recording every move as a man and a woman drove slowly through the neighborhood, peering intently out the windows of their Jaguar.
