Thanks for the support. With all due respect to the poster of #63, Peter Lee is believed to have been guilty of passing nuclear secrets to the Chinese, but not the neutron bomb. That is thought to have come from a case known as TIGER TRAP, involving a scientist from Livermore Lab. It is true that Peter Lee worked at Livermore and at Los Alamos. He passed nuclear secrets to the Chinese in 1985 when he was at Los Alamos. There are a number of tenuous links between Peter and Wen Ho. Both lived in White Rock and there may be FBI records of telephone converstions between the two when Peter was at Livermore. The Justice Department torpeded the case against Peter Lee in 1997 about the time that China president Jiang Zemin visited Clinton in Washington. He got off with a slap on the wrist and the FBI withheld information from Defense officials that might (and I emphasize might) have persuaded Defense to argue for a harsher prosecution. Just one of the many strange aspects of this whole case. Let me add that many people suspect that there is much more to both Peter and Wen Ho Lees' connection to the Chinese than the government is willing to reveal. Most have dismissed WHLee's claim that everything he did was approved by the lab. Maybe it was. That would explain a lot. Note Trulock
