Ron,

You may be right on all accounts. Time may or may not divulge the truth. I feel it will be one of those news items that just disappears with no revelations - no prosecution of Wen Ho Lee or anyone else.

I had read most of the items you posted on Wen Ho Lee, Peter Lee, and the 'situation' at Los Alamos. I have also read other articles that report the story differently - i.e. the results of the second polygraph test ordered by Richardson were deemed inconclusive - and - Wen Ho Lee filed reports on his trips to HK and China, but on one occasion he filed a report of a contact with a Chinese National later than requirements dictate.

When one reads the various articles, one gets the impression that certain news organizations have a direct pipeline into the FBI and DOE, getting information almost as soon as it occurs. As you state, much of this information is biased to either protect or support the individuals or agency involved - and that causes me to doubt all reports. These days, very little 'news' is unbiased.

You are well informed about US security organizations (I readily admit that I am not). Is it considered standard policy for so many 'leaks' to the press? Doesn't it appear that there's an effort to focus media attention on Wen Ho Lee?

I have to be suspicious about the motives. It seems to me that a discreet investigation coupled with a tightening of security would have been more logical tactics to have taken. Instead we have Richardson being interviewed by every media source and appearance that the DOE is almost calling the reporters to provide the leaks.

JMHO,
Ron
