Unfortunately Jake Reno and the Clintoons with their injustice department screwed the pooch with their intentional mishandling of the Wen Hol Lee fiasco.

I would like to see Lee pay, but we can't have him used as an excuse to excuse treason since him and into the future.

[Wallace T.]

I qualified my answer only because I have yet to see hard evidence of this convergence. But there have been reported, in connection with the Oklahoma City bombing case, stories of Muslim extremists in complicity with McVeigh and Nichols. Additionally, as far back as the 1960s, an American Nazi leader spoke at an assemblage of the African American Nation of Islam.

Perhaps the trial of Davila and his ex-wife may prove enlightening.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

That's right. If anything, the Wen Ho Lee case should be shown as a graphic example of how not to handle an espionage case.

Unfortunately Jake Reno and the Clintoons with their injustice department screwed the pooch with their intentional mishandling of the Wen Hol Lee fiasco.

If the 'Toons/Reno crew had put Wen Ho Lee's Hot Warhead Design Co. out of business, the Chicom's wouldn't have needed the missiles and the 'Toons would have lost the sale.

Many plausible and interesting points here. Definitely food for thought.

[Both face up to life in prison if convicted.]

Not enough.

Don't laugh... if people knew how much coffee your division ordered in a fiscal year, they could make a reasonable guesstimate of how many personnel you have.

If they knew how many Kotex you ordered for the vending machines in the johns, they could guesstimate how many of the personnel were women.

If there is a high female to male ratio, then it can be assumed the division is not a combat division or is not combat-ready.

Certain cleaning supplies in an inventory list can tell people what is going on in your facilities. Lists including industrial solvents and so forth can be very informative, particularly if you're wondering what is being worked on inside this or that building at some secure site.

Apparently innocent bits of information can be useful to an enemy, particularly when combined with other "harmless" leaks.

That comment about the coffee inventory was just a joke. In all seriousness I think treasonous persons should join the detonator collar remote island program.

[Spunky]

I put in the original title from my newspaper and it didn't come up.

Did a keyword for Espionage, Spy, Teacher, and nothing came up. I would have never thought to keyword for Davila. :-)

[Indy Pendance]

no problem, I thought you might like to see another story on it. ;)

[piasa]

I have to admit that I like the detonator collar idea. From what I hear they're having quite a time at Gitmo stopping the terrorists from putting on "rope collars" and hanging themselves. The only reasons they should be dissuaded from suicide, I suppose, is because we may not have gotten all the details out of them yet... and it might be better for PR if they continue to breathe for a while.

[Spirited]

Good assessment.

Also need to consider that the FBI and CIA have found no connection between Iraq and Osama's outfit.
