What leak? Is this also about the Valerie Plame Name Blame Game?
Egads, not another politician with prostate problems...
SANTA FE (AP) - Gov. Bill Richardson could continue to play a prominent role in the lawsuit filed by Wen Ho Lee against the federal government.
Lee claims government officials leaked classified and personal information about him to the media. Richardson was secretary of the Department of Energy at the time.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that Richardson and several others were again identified in a recent federal court ruling as likely sources for the leaks in 1999 that identified Lee as a suspect in an FBI investigation into loss of nuclear secrets to China.
From Tidepool --
"Richardson does have some problems. Despite an impressive resume as former UN ambassador, Energy Secretary, successful free-lance diplomat, he's not widely known. And according to at least one published report, it was he who leaked the name of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee to the New York Times in 1999. Lee was then charged with espionage, and though the charges were subsequently dropped, any Richardson connection with the case is likely to displease two important constituencies -- Asian-Americans and civil libertarians.
Richardson was in Paris, and his press office did not respond when asked whether he had ever been asked about the Wen Ho Lee matter. If he has not, he will be, and if he wants to pursue the nomination, he must answer soon enough."

Bosnia: The Birthplace of Al-Qaeda

WE HAD HIM!
In his book, Dereliction of Duty, Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, chief military aide to President Clinton writes: "The White House Situation Room was buzzing. It was fall 1998 and the National Security Council (NSC) and the 'intelligence community' were tracking the wehereabout of Osama bin Laden, the shadowy matermind of terrorist attacks on Americn targets overseas. 'They successfully triangulated his location,' yelled a 'Sit Room' watch stand. 'We've got him.' Beneath the West Wing of the White House, behind a vaulted steel door, the Sit Room staff sprang into action. The watch officer notified National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, 'Sir, we've located bin Laden. We have a two-hour window to strike'. Characteristic of the Clinton administration, the weapons of choice would be Tomahawk missiles. After several attempts to first locate President Clinton to receive permission to get Osama bin Laden, Presindent Clinton was nowhere to be found. When the President finally accepted Berger's call, there was discussion, there were pauses -- and no decision. 'We studied the issue until it was too late -- the window of opportunity closed'."
On 11 March 2004, 190 people were killed at the Madrid Train Station. One of the main terrorists was born in Bosnia yet very little was made of this important connection. However, whenever or if ever information is uncovered of a possible connection of the London terrorists to Bosnia, it will be played down as was the Bosnia connection to the Madrid bombing. It wouldn't be prudent.
