And by the way, let's keep straight who is attacking Dr. Lee, and why:
From a story on CBS Evning News Monday:
-- "There's an update tonight and a fairness check in the
story about stolen U.S. nuclear weapons secrets, possibly going to
communist China for twenty years or more," intoned Dan Rather on
Monday's CBS Evening News.
Sharyl Attkisson then reviewed what 60 Minutes viewers saw the
night before: "Wen Ho lee admits to 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace that
he moved classified material to an unclassified computer, a common
practice for convenience he says, but as for spying:"
Wen Ho Lee: "The truth is I'm innocent. I have not done
anything wrong, at least what they have tried to accuse me."
Attkisson: "Representative Chris Cox led Congress's
investigation into Chinese espionage and backs up Lee's dismissal
for security violations, but:"
Chris Cox: "It's a different matter, however, to juxtapose him
with some of the most serious crimes that have ever been committed
against our military secrets."
Attkisson: "He accuses Energy Secretary Bill Richardson of
playing up Lee's firing in the press. But Richardson denies he
made Lee a public scapegoat for the lab security programs."
Attkisson to Richardson: "What's your response to watching him
and hearing him last night?"
Bill Richardson: "Not much sympathy. This man massively
violated security and by doing so we terminated him."
Attkisson: "Lee, born in Taiwan, now a U.S. citizen, says he
views China as an enemy country."
Lee: "I feel they have a corrupt country, I mean a corrupt
government."
Attkisson: "And he's even taught his two children to be wary
of Chinese people."
Lee's son explained how he was taught to avoid people from
Mainland China.
