In my opinion, the security at the labs during Reagan and then Bush adminstrations was deliberately allowed to be lax (known to the FBI and CIA at the time)to provide a cover, plausible deniability for the Reagan/Bush secret policy to transfer US missile defense and US nuclear weapons technology (neutron bomb design according to Sam Cohen) to Russia and China.
These transfers also involved nuclear transfers by Peter Lee (known to CIA agent George Carver, a protege of Bush Sr.)Peter Lee was an associate and friend of Win Ho Lee. Peter Lee worked first at Lawrence Livermore Labs and later at LosAlamos Labs. Wen Ho Lee continued the transfer of nuclear legacy codes to the Chinese at LosAlamos as part of the Bush Sr policy and while Wen Ho Lee's wife worked directly for the CIA and the FBI!! This info has been well documented with articles and posts on recent threads (about a week ago) on FR.
My opinion is also based on personal interviews that were conducted with me by Reagan/Bush administration officials in 1983 about SDI(missile defense) . And my opinion is also based on info I know of about Army intelligence being deliberately ignored and taken off the case when they tried to get the FBI and the Bush adminstration to do something about the transfer of US missile defense technology to CHina (this was a second case that I was not involved in). Anthony Kimery wrote about this in 2000 and the article was posted on FR in 2000-I have not been able to recover the article from the FR archives yet. I spoke directly to Kimery about his story and my story in 2000.
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee was Democratic Senator David Boren of Oklahoma(very close friend and associate of Admiral Crowe and CIA director George Tenet)in the 1980s and he was aware of these transfers to Russia and China and covered them up. I provided Boren's senior staff proof about these transfers in 1988. Boren is a very strong world government advocate and a left wing liberal IMHO based on my knowledge of what he has said and done for years in and out of Oklahoma (currently chancelor of the University of Oklahoma)
The legal counsel for the Senate Intelligence committee, Joan Grimson was aprised of these matters in 1999 by me including hard written evidence and documents. She told me that my information was consistent with conditions that she and members of the intelligence committee knew existed at the labs since 1982 (and at the time Boren was the Chairman of the Senate Intell committee)!
Yep! Big Time!!
OKC..I'm leaving town till Sunday night; if you have time, ping me on China, India and Pak articles. Thanks. Jeff
Bohnen, John, and Anthony Kimery. "Red-Handed: Caught in the Act, Several Chinese Spies Have Yet to be Brought to Justice." Sources, 12 May 1999. [http://www.dso.com]:
"The FBI and the CIA have investigated numerous suspected Chinese spies during the last ten years, and across administrations. These investigations even involved stings against spies who paid thousands of dollars for what they thought was top secret information. No arrests were made, however. Foreign policy appears to have gotten in the way."
This time period was also during the Bush Sr. adminstration when Chinese tech transfers (unprosecuted spying where the Bush administration called off US agents who caught Chinese agents so the Bush administarion could facilitate the transfers to CHina) was allowed because of "foreign policy"(world government?).
This behavior by the Bush admininstration included the giving or transfer of JSTARs radar used on US AWAC planes and the transfer occured near TInker AFB near Oklhaoma City. It also included the transfer of SDI (missile defense ) tech to China at Kirtland AFB near Los Alamos.
This pattern of behavior of the Bush Sr of protecting nuke transfers as foreign policy was repeated earlier when according to Sam COhen the US neutron bomb tech was transferred to China and the CIA knew about it (George Carver, Bush Sr) and the USG did not really prosecute anyone for it.
