Who did Jim Skardon interrogate that was an atomic spy?
Klaus Fuchs
Title: Douglas Mackiernan
Passage: Douglas Seymour Mackiernan (April 25, 1913 – April 29, 1950) was the first officer of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to be killed in the line of duty.  He worked as a cryptographer for the United States Army Air Forces and was then posted to China as an Air Force meteorologist during World War II.  By 1947, he had quit the Air Force and was employed as a covert intelligence officer by the CIA.  As a cover for that work he was assigned the position of Vice-Consul for the U.S. State Department at its consulate in Ürümqi (Tihwa) in East Turkestan (modern Xinjiang).  There his scientific talents (he dropped out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after his freshman year) were employed in espionage.  Until 2002, the CIA successfully hid the fact that Mackiernan was America's first atomic spy; Mackiernan's collection of atomic intelligence about the Soviet Union's first atomic bomb (tested just across the border at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan) was first revealed by the journalist Thomas Laird, but only confirmed by the CIA in 2008.
