Judicial Watch ^ | February 12, 2002 | Press release

Get clue, dude. The educational and intellectual sum of all Dr. Lee's accusers can't hold a candle to one single Nobel laureat FAS board member.

When the only ones who charge Lee of spying are societal refuse, you know you're in the loosing camp. Even Nortra and Klymerman know better than making any statement remotely insinuating.

[WillaJohns]

You've brought a different light on the subject and it makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

You know I always read your posts and chuckle. You just have the all the answers and that lengthy media background to back it up. JW has done much for the cause of rooting out corruption in government, if only to get information into the mainstream that otherwise would have been undiscovered or buried.

Bump- I hadn't thought Wen Ho Lee was guilty but maybe there's some other info out there.

Interesting. I've got Thomas' book on the mossad . . . anyway, Thomas is a birt who has written something like 40 books on intelligence-type matters. His father worked for the MI6. I don't think he has a CIA agenda, but I could be wrong.

[Paul Ross]

Real bona fide, 100% disinformatzia . It has to be. So, I'm afraid Gordon Thomas IS being 'run' by someone for that purpose, as he is merely a hack who makes his money selling hardcopy (apologies to other published authors, I merely make a point about his finances). The CIA or NSA is a likely choice, but who can know until all the dust settles...and we are allowed to get at the executive information without interference against the FOIA requests, or the rightful civil discovery pursuant litigation.

How can the President dismiss a case filed by Trulock?? I don't understand that?

The article didn't say that the President dismissed the case. The present DOJ (Bush DOJ) argued in court against allowing Trulock's defamation case against Wen Ho Lee to go forward. From the article I posted:

"Nevertheless, just days before trial, which was scheduled to begin February 19, the full weight of the Bush Justice Department was used by the administration to intervene in Judicial Watch's private cases for Trulock, to argue that if the trial was allowed to proceed, that national security would be violated.

"The lower court granted the Bush Justice Department's request to stop the cases this afternoon, on the eve of trial. Judicial Watch will appeal on behalf of Trulock."

On a side note, the university bookstore I frequent has Wen Ho Lee's book, "My Government Versus Me" prominently displayed. I assume the book itself is irrelevant garbage, but I was wondering if it was a sweetheart deal / hushmoney as many of these book deals (though not all) are. Has anyone heard anything?
