I am not saying racism is involved. I am saying that until the government tells us why it believes Lee was spying for China, preferably in court, many people will assume that racism is involved, and the government will have a very difficult time defending itself against the charge.

It sure sounds to me as if you are one of those "many people" who assume the US Gov't is making the allegation based on race. One of those who ignore the fact that the FBI was denied the ability to investigate Lee. One of those who see no relation between this and Clinton's treasonous (oops, I mean "possibly improper") acceptance of bribes (oops, I mean "campaign contributions") and coverup of technology transfer (oops, I mean "inadvertant leakage of outdated information") to China. But, maybe I just don't quite understand what you are trying to say. Hmmm, let me see. You are not saying that YOU think the entire US Gov't is racist, you are simply concerned that LOTS of OTHER people might think that, right?

am saying also that if the Government was not prepared to tell people why Lee was accused of spying, it should not have publicly accused him of anything beyond a technical security breach.

You are clearly more familiar with this case than I am. What branch of the Gov't made the spying accusation? If Lee were accused, wouldn't he have the right to face his accuser? Or, perhaps you intended to say "suspected" instead of "accused?" If the Feebs weren't allowed to investigate him, how could they possibly release the investigative information you want so badly to see?

However, if you are unhappy that Lee has had his life disrupted, perhaps you should consider who it was that caused the problem -- the Gov't? Nope, the press. The jackels who will rip and tear at any piece of raw flesh that might be exposed.

Clear?

nope.
