I know some FReepers in the previous thread thought Wen Ho Lee was probably innocent - but I respectfully disagree.
What we know at the very least is that Wen Ho Lee broke the law and illegally downloaded and took nuclear secrets.
He claims it was out of patriotic dilligence, that he was simply doing his work from home. Government investigators disagreed and Lee's bizarre explanation of how he disposed of the nuclear secrets raised more questions than it answered.
Lee was never "exhonorated" - all but 1 of the charges were dropped because the judge ordered the government to turn over the sources of the dirt on Lee which the government said would compromise national security.
When all is said and done, it is a brave Asian soldier serving in Iraq or Aghanistan who should be recognized for his/her "courage" - not someone who undermined this country's national security.
exactly. bump!
Ping!!
