  Do We Finally Get To Kill Somebody?November 10, 2005 With real threats to our national security in full bloom, and traitors in need of immediate lethal injection, why is the Beltway obsessed with much ado about a paper-pushing blond and her self-admitted psychedelic husband?  Maybe the rest of liberal America, along with Joe Wilson, have had “too many wives and taken too many drugs”. Or, in Bill Bennett’s words is it just a case of Overt Inconsistency?  As Bennett rhetorically notes about the liberals, and the MSM Fifth Column, their “support for the CIA, and...for secrecy in war and intelligence, lasted...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - An engineer and Chinese television director are among four people indicted on charges of stealing secret documents on Navy warships and trying to smuggle them to China, prosecutors said Friday. Chi Mak, a naturalized U.S. citizen from China who lives in Los Angeles County, was arrested Oct. 28. He allegedly took computer disks from Anaheim defense contractor Power Paragon, where he was lead engineer on a research project involving warship propulsion systems, according to an FBI affidavit. He also allegedly e-mailed photos and reports about the project to his home computer. Authorities say Chi Mak and...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. July 23, 2004 — Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham on Friday ordered a halt to all Energy Department operations across the country that use the kind of computer disks reported missing last week at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Under his order, each Energy Department installation will suspend operations Monday involving removable data-storage devices such as computer disks. Each site will conduct an inventory of such items and perform weekly inventories after that. The announcement comes after two computer disks were reported missing from Los Alamos on July 7. On Thursday, that lab announced that 19 employees had been suspended...

LOS ALAMOS — FBI agents seized a small computer hard drive marked "secret," two rolls of printed stickers reading "secret" and a Verbatim-brand 8 mm tape from a business that for years has sold recycled equipment from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other places. An agent confiscated the items Tuesday and gave Black Hole Store and Museum owner Ed Grothus an itemized receipt listing the things taken, Grothus said. Grothus said Friday the items have been a big joke in his store for years. "I had for years been jesting" that they were missing tapes from the federal nuclear weapons...

LOS ALAMOS— Los Alamos National Laboratory director Pete Nanos told employees Thursday they no longer are in a fight to retain University of California control of the labs but now are fighting to maintain the labs' very existence. By losing credibility when sensitive materials are lost or mishandled, Nanos said, Los Alamos could lose business from private corporations as well as federal funding and support. Indeed, on Thursday, Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., long considered LANL's biggest booster, released an "open letter" to the residents of Los Alamos that was highly critical of the lab. Nanos railed against employees and scientists...
