She was on the investigating a end of a conflict of interest charge involving one of her staff.
The facts:
Dr. John W. Lewis, a Stanford professor collaborated with Chinese defector Hua Di in writing books on Chinese missiles. Stanford Provost Ms. Condoleezza Rice said, "Professor John Lewis had provided evidence to the fact that the source materials for publications written by him and Mr. Hua were provided by approved Chinese authorities or already were available through the Stanford University library." Aviation Week, Janes and several other publications confirm the Stanford position that the information Hua Di passed to the West was already obvious.While many articles try to incriminate her as being connected, the only connection I can see is that she was doing her job in investigating the conflict of interest involving one of her staff, and as indicated above, cleared him...nothing nefarious there. Some journalists say she shut down "the investigation", but that is a preposterous charge considering she concluded her investigation and found him innocent. Investigating the Chinese spy ring was not her job, that was the Clinton Admin's job, once it had been reported to them. Those same journalists were upset because she would not discuss this with them and saw that as a sign of complicity in a cover up. It's the same kind of journalistic arrogance we see on display today in the Cheney case. Condi was under no obligation to discuss this with them and as Provost, she had an obligation to maintain the integrity of the University.
As an aside .. were you aware that some judge has ruled that people cannot be forced to speak to the press ..??
I thought that was an interesting event .. especially with Gregory screaming that they should have been contacted first. Looks like the temper trantrum was for naught!
