Interesting. Rec'd copy of newspaper clipping dtd 4-8-99 that was a reprint of a New York Times article that headlined:

"SPY REPORTED CHINA'S THEFT OF SECRETS IN 1996

WASHINGTON--In early 1996, the U.S. received a startling report from one of its Chinese spies. Officials inside China's intelligence service, the spy said, were boasting that they had just stolen secrets from the U.S. and had used them to improve Beijing's neutron bomb, according to American officials. The spy had provided reliable information in the past, and officials said investigators took the report seriously.

China first built and tested a neutron warhead in the 1980's, using what American officials have said publicly was secret data stolen from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, one of America's key nuclear weapons laboratories. But the design did not work properly. American officials say that China's 1988 test of the neutron bomb, which kills people with enhanced radiation while leaving buildings intact, was not successful.

Now, the spy was suggesting, Chinese agents had solved the problem by coming back to the U.S. in 1995 to steal more secrets. The spy even provided details of how the information was transferred from the U.S. to China, officials said.

The report prompted a federal criminal investigation, but American officials say they have found no evidence that China has produced an improved bomb. Sandy Berger, the national security adviser, was first told of a possible new theft of neutron bomb data in 1996 according to officials who took part in the meeting or read the highly classified materials used to prepare for it. The briefing, these officials said, came weeks after the FBI gave the Energy Department a report about the spy's information

David Leavy, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said that Berger and another NSC official who attended the 1996 briefing do not believe the neutron bomb issue was mentioned. Leavy said that Berger did not learn of the suspicions until a more detailed briefing in July 1997."

Also on 4-8-99, another article appeared written by Scott Shepard of Cox News Service entitled:

"CHINA'S ENTRY TO TRADE GROUP IN OUR INTEREST, CLINTON SAYS"

WASHINGTON--On the eve of a meeting with Premier Zhu Rongji of China, President Clinton on Wednesday strongly advocated China's entry into the World Trade Organization."

There's more but it's too lengthy. However, please note that China steals our secrets to make WMD, and Clintoon awards China by giving them admission into the WTO. A perfect example of the Clintoon Administration hard at work at destablizing our government and way of life. Hooey!

Hopefully, President Bush and Attorney General Ashcroft will take action soon.

Without question, the FBI needs to weed out the bad apples within its management and ranks ASAP.

Sep-11 and the legal/accounting scandals since then have showed us we simply can no longer afford to allow lazy, corrupt, or otherwise incompetent individuals within our institutions of commerce and governance- ESPECIALLY our law enforcement agencies since if the laws of the land are not enforced then there is no law.

Please post the entire article. Thanks!

If my coporate scorecard is correct, MSNBC is a joint venture of Microsoft, GE, and the Washington Post Co. (which owns Newsweek).

Therefore, because of the WaPo connection, the whole thing can't be posted. If you don't know why, go to the home page, and about 75% of the way down, you'll see the following:

Sorry, didn't realize you were referring to Post 4.

This story is incredibly thin and brief. Methinks Isikoff knows a lot more than he is telling.

This is the same guy who allowed his superiors at WaPo to suppress the Paula Jones story, which only came to light because of a cryptic reference to a "Paula" in an American Spectator story in 1993 or so.

Isikoff also was going to allow his superiors to sit on the Lewinsky story when he had everything he needed to publish. Matt Drudge ran with it and forced the story into the open. The rest is history.

With that track record, I suspect his bosses won't let him reveal all he knows. And lapdog that he is, he'll obey.

Here's the article printed in its entirety on the same day as China's theft of secrets in 1996 story which was 4-8-1999.

China's entry to trade group in our interest, Clinton says

Partnership will build peace, critics told as premier arrives

By Scott Shepard
Cox News Service

WASHINGTON--On the eve of a meeting with Premier Zhu Rongji of China, President Clinton on Wednesday strongly advocated China's entry into the World Trade Organization. He also warned American politicians against turning disagreements over his China policy into a "campaign-drive cold war" against Beijing.

China's admission into the WTO, the international body created in 1995 to regulate international commerce, is "profoundly in our national interest," Clinton said in a hastily arranged speech to the United States Institute for Peace. He said that his policy of "principled, purposeful engagement" of China is encouraging Beijing to open up politically and economically.

U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators have worked furiously in recent weeks to strike a deal that could be announced during Zhu's visit to Washington, which ends Friday. "The discussions have been good. We continue to move forward on trying to narrow differences, but we're not done," Lael Brainard, a senior official of the White House National Economic Council, said Wednesday at the White House.

In his speech, Clinton noted that his so-called "strategic partnership" with China has come under sharp attack in recent weeks as the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination has gotten under way. One candidate, Pat Buchanan, charged Monday that Clinton's policy "has degenerated into willful self-delusion and craven appeasement" that ultimately will lead to "confrontation and possible conflict."

The president countered Wednesday that "as the next presidential election approaches, we cannot allow a healthy argument to lead us toward a campaign-driven cold war with China, for that would have tragic consequences." Clinton said a U.S. stance similar to the 40-year cold war with the former Soviet Union would benefit no one "except for the most rigid backward-looking elements in China itself."

Zhu, the third-ranking person in the Chinese communist hierarchy, is one of China's most reform-minded leaders, according to some experts. Because of a few leaders like Zhu, "China today is considerably more open than the China of 10 years ago," said Richard Haas, foreign policy director at the Brookings Institution, a public policy research center in Washington.

Zhu's visit comes just weeks before the 10th anniversary of Beijing's bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square, which has become a rallying cry for critics of China's human rights violations.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., one of the most outspoken critics of China, called on Clinton in his meetings with Zhu to request the release of political prisoners held since the 1989 massacre. While Clinton's policy has led to increased commerce and cultural exchanges with China, it has done little in the area of human rights, she said.

Please note this sub text on the headline

"Justice Department task force was never able to prove
the Chinese government was behind millions of dollars
in suspect campaign contributions."

IMHO This lends credence to your lack of faith in Isikoff's full telling of the story.
I hope GW free's up justice on this one but history tells me otherwise.

Call me cynical.

"Justice Department task force was never able to prove the Chinese government was behind millions of dollars in suspect campaign contributions."

...only because the key source for the Clinton Justice
Department Campaign-Finance task force was a chi-com spy!

This story actually gives me some hope that there may
someday soon be a "controlling legal authority"
in charge of the illegal chinese donation
scheme perpetrated by the Clinton-Gore gang.

Now more than ever Im convinced Clinton took money from the Chi-coms.

Eeewwww!

bttt

an additional $100,000 to a California GOP Senate candidate.

Who might this be?
