Exclusive: Arrested spy compromised China's U.S. espionage network: sources

(Reuters) - A Chinese state-security official arrested this year on allegations of spying for Washington is suspected to have compromised some of China's U.S. agents in a major setback that angered President Hu Jintao, sources said.

Hu personally intervened this year, ordering an investigation into the case after the Ministry of State Security arrested one of its own officials for passing information to the Americans, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.

The official, an aide to a vice minister, was taken into custody sometime between January and March after the ministry became alarmed last year over repeated incidents of Chinese agents being compromised in the United States, they said.

“Either way, think of the ramifications...a member of the US Senate, openly soliciting an Enemy of the US to meddle in our elections.

Why isn’t that treason?”

Treason? How about THIS one..

“...Arrested spy compromised China’s U.S. espionage network:...”

Would it be beyond the imagination that our own manchurian candidate might have possibly exposed this guy to his Chicom buddies as a way of getting some $$$$ for his re-election?

Remember Jimmy Carter sending an envoy (Ted Kennedy?) to the Soviets during the 1980 elections to plead with them to use whatever they had with groups over here to prevent Reagan from winning...? (Fact check/clarification, anyone?)
Just a thought....

"It was Kennedy who sent former Cal Sen Tunney to Russia"

Interesting, I've never heard of this occurrence.
