If Lee is locked up, Deutch should be sharing a cell with him.

Agree 100%. But I wonder if Mr. Lee isn't being set up as a patsy.

What did he do? When Energy Secretary Bill Richardson forced the labs to fire him on suspicion that he had given secrets to Beijing -- before discovering that his predecessor, Hazel O’Leary, had already posted all the secrets she could find on the Internet -- federal agents found that he had what looked like secrets sitting around on his desk at Los Alamos. (Of course, since he has been handling classified stuff for 20 years, one might suspect there would be some on his desk, in the most secure sector at Los Alamos.) There is also the question of seven missing tapes, which the feds would not have known about if Wen Ho Lee had not engaged his colleagues in taping them some years back, having since destroyed them. The feds say he acted "clandestinely" because he taped them after business hours. But what kind of a spy would ask his colleagues to show him how to download classified material to a tape? He explained what he was doing, but now the feds need some time to think of how to get around that argument -- keeping him cooking in solitary until he is ready to cop a plea.
