Officials fear accused Navy spy Edward Lin told China about U.S. reconnaissance aircraft
washington times ^ | 4/17/16 | Rowan Scarborough

A Navy officer has spent eight months in the brig as a captive of U.S. counterintelligence agents, but to hear officials tell the spy tale, they know few details about what he provided to China’s communist regime or Taiwan’s government.

To be sure, Lt. Cmdr. Edward Chieh-Liang Lin knows a lot about the Navy’s spying on China. He was a naval flight officer for long-distance patrol aircraft that suck up communications as well as track and take reconnaissance photographs and video of Beijing’s aggressive military operations in the South China Sea and elsewhere.

“Someone like Cmdr. Lin would have detailed knowledge of not only the technical capabilities of the aircraft, but how the aircraft is employed to accomplish its mission and what the U.S. knows about the signatures of submarines and ships used by other countries,” said Dakota Wood, a former Marine Corps officer and war planner who is now at The Heritage Foundation.

“If such information was passed to such a country like China, it would enable them to alter their methods and equipment in ways to defeat U.S. surveillance techniques and capabilities, thus making their own operations more effective and gaining an advantage in time of war,” Mr. Wood said.

Had we not elected bill and Hillary Clinton in the early 90s the Chinese would not have had any information to build
long distance missiles. His money bundler whose name began with an L???? and was a friend of the Chinese sent the missile information to them. And now we have a Lt Cmdr Lin in league with the Chinese government.

Another example of the camel’s nose being under the tent!

Is there ANYONE that gives a sh!t about America, anymore? I’m not ‘feeling the love.’ People in LEADERSHIP positions are trying to get us killed! From the top on down!

B@stards. I agree - hang him, NOW! Or throw him overboard; that would be more fitting. *SPIT*

Obviously they aren’t using the right technique to interrogate him. They don’t even know who he was spying for at this point.

I think you’re right and so is Surrounded_too. I remember a Chinese fellow was surprised how cheaply Clinton was bought.

I doubt that he told them anything that Hillary, or Obama. had not already told them. But, we can't have the amateurs

The idiots responsible for putting our enemies in the positions where they have access to this information should be held accountable.

Our government is more likely to recruit many more recently arrived ethnic Chinese to work in our most sensitive national security positions to prove that we are not prejudiced against recent Chinese immigrants.

Sort of like increasing Muslim immigration to new levels after 9/11.

Loral, headed by big Clinton donor Bernard Schwartz. Loral was bought by Lockheed Martin a while back.

If he didn’t you can be sure Hellary, the usurper or the newly installed commie muzzy heads of the military and government agencies did.
