Wasn't there a high level Soviet agent that "defected' only to return to the USSR? I seem to recall it happening in the 80's.

IIRC there was Chinese scientist who developed WMD in the US and then went back to his commie homeland to build weapons.

Yes, that was Vitaly Yurchenko. Much of that happened in Georgetown. I remember that ridiculous press conference where he insisted on speaking in Russian because he had been forced to use English while "in captivity" of the CIA.
