Try this Dizzy City "..Shi(*) on for size.

Clintwit (..who's Chinese buddy shuffled campaign money from the PRC to he and ALGORE..) appointed this palsied bitch RENO to the position of Attorney General at Hillary's (..feminist..) demand.

When the little Taiwanese asshole, Lee, is caught stealing W-88 >>>>N.U.C.L.E.A.R.<<<< warhead secrets from Los Alamos Labs for the Chinese, RENO buries her head in the sand and muffs the investigation........

(...maybe her Mommie and Granny argued in front of her when she was just-as-ugly, but less tall..., so it's NOT HER FAULT (riiiiight)..)

(..bet she doesn't inhale, either.....)

WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate panel on Thursday denounced as weak and ineffective the investigations by three government agencies into a Chinese-American scientist suspected of passing American nuclear secrets to China.

The Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs concluded in a report that the probes were not thorough or aggressive enough.

''We find that when it came to the handling of a matter involving national security and extreme sensitivity, key officials in our government were beset with communication failures and poor judgment,'' Sen. Fred Thompson, chairman of the committee, told reporters.

The report concluded 13 hours of closed-door hearings, which included testimony by witnesses from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Justice and the Department of Energy.

These agencies all conducted investigations into alleged security breaches by Wen-Ho Lee, a senior scientist who worked in a top secret department of the Energy Department's Los Alamos nuclear laboratory in New Mexico.

Lee, a Taiwanese-born American citizen, was fired in March amid suspicions he had passed classified information to China.

Lee denied the allegations and the government investigation has so far produced no hard evidence that he passed any classified national security information to China. China has also denied it stole U.S. nuclear secrets.

The Senate committee said that the investigating agencies should have probed other Los Alamos laboratory personnel more rigorously even after they found ''probable cause'' against Lee and his wife, Sylvia.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut Democrat on the committee, said government investigators wrongly assumed that sensitive information about W-88 nuclear warheads was available only at the Los Alamos laboratory and had dropped further probes after identifying Lee as the prime suspect.

''Information about the W-88 was available beyond Los Alamos in several military and governmental entities since 1988,'' Lieberman said. ''Other suspects may be still out there.''

In an interview on Sunday on the CBS television programme ''60 Minutes,'' Lee said he had been singled out as a scapegoat.

He admitted downloading sensitive information from classified computers to his own unclassified computer, but said this was common practice at Los Alamos.

Thompson, a Tennessee Republican, blamed Attorney General Janet Reno for her lack of personal involvement in the investigation, noting that the Justice Department had refused to take action after the FBI requested a surveillance warrant be issued for Lee.

''The attorney general was out of the loop,'' Thompson said.

Reno rejected the report's finding that the Justice Department had ignored evidence that would have supported a wiretap of Lee. But she admitted in a weekly news briefing that the case could have been handled better.

''We should have pursued it with the bureau (FBI) to see if they had any other information, to see if there was anything else that they could come up with, to see if there was anything that could be done,'' Reno told reporters.

Lieberman said he had no evidence of any ''political conspiracy'' but was troubled by the investigators' testimony.

''Time and time again I saw things that baffled me in this investigation,'' he said. ''The bottom line is that the investigation into the loss of the W-88 nuclear warhead design was not a comedy of errors, but a tragedy of errors.''

"..WAKE UP NEW YORK..............

THE LIBERAL, KISS-ASS, ANY-EXCUSE-'LL-DO, MANIPULATIVE MEDIA are now trying to foist "..the (Illinois/Arkansas/Dizzy City) (w)ITCH.." off on you...."!!

"..ARE YOU BUYING.....????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!....."
