A U.S. Naval officer who has been charged with espionage has been identified as Lt. Cmdr. Edward C. Lin, a Taiwanese-born flight officer assigned to a Naval reconnaissance unit.

"The U.S. official told ABC News that preliminary indications point to possible espionage for either China or Taiwan"

My bet is on China.

He flew the same plane which in 2001 collided near Hainan Island with PRC Pilot Wang Wei —the pilot’s real name.

The Chinese guy the USN paid to spy on the PRC instead spied on the USA on behalf of the PRC.

It would seem.

My head hurts.

Are you sure the pilots name wasn’t Wong Wei?

Whatever he did, was probably less harmful than what Hillary did.

Get two ropes.

Another failure in our capability to “vet” foreign individuals.

We caught the islamist terrorist wife from Pakistan, after only 14 people were murdered.

Lock him up with Hillary.

Yeah, I know it’s cruel and unusual punishment, but he’s a filthy traitor.

As if we can’t get enough home grown traitors.

We even outsource our traitors now.

Charges of patronizing a prostitute and adultery.

They must've been on to him long enough to be following him. Also left a false address on his leave form.

Here is our EPE-3 on Hainan, post-collision, being loaded into an AN-124, for repatriation.

We had to apologize and pay some cash.

But I heard the crew didn't succeed in destroying everything (or even most of the sensitive stuff) prior to being arrested on Hainan.

To paraphrase Donald J. Trump, we should stop letting Chinese into this country until we can get this thing figured out.

What other suicidal nations take in foreign nationals as officers in their military?

I know the obvious ones, but this seems to happen almost every year in ours.

Another turncoat found who was foreign. Bad enough we have commies who are native, but you’d think we’d learn?

It’s not hard to guess what happens to nations that begin using foreign auxiliaries as their soldiers.
