>>>The whole China-spying ruckus is, if you actually read the Cox report, a huge amount of inflammatory talk based on very shaky grounds.<<< There are basicially three groups of people creating this ugly climate. First, there are the auditor, security types, and control freaks. They have gone bananas citing windows are open, unlocked doors, drunken security guards, misguided tour guides, and lack of computer security procedures at the National laboratories run by a culture of arrogant scientists. Can you just see it now, a Chinese Scientist on a guided tour of a national laboratory facility sneaking by a drunken security guard, past an unlocked door, climbs in through an open window, and rifles some files to steal nuclear secretes before getting back on the tour? Second, there is the New York Times, who feel that any country that is not friendly to Isreal (BTW I am personally pro Isreal), is an enemy of the United States and has to be trashed by Abe Rosenthal and Bill Safire every chance it can get - even if they have to manufacture issues and slander by innuendo. They were the ones that reported the Wen Ho Lee case from leaked or stolen information that had very little substance to begin with. Very few other news organizations do much of their own news gathering. They rewrite what appears in the New York Times. Third, there are quite a number of pure racist who use the human rights cover to promote racial fear and hatred. How many of these human rights advocates really care about the legitimate human rights of the ordinary Chinese people? We are in the process of demonizing 1.2 billion people. This could be tragic.

Here's an ingenious explanation of the "China-spying ruckus," Steve. Wonder what you think of it. :-) Cox and Dicks accuse China of espionage in order to try to draw attention away from their names being Cox and Dicks!!! by HC Genitaliaville, DC - (May 26) - Representative Chris Cox of California, and Representative Norm Dicks of Washington, chairman and ranking member respectively of the House Committee on National Security and China, released their glossy 500-page report about massive Chinese espionage, today, during a star-studded congressional report-releasing ceremony extravaganza held beside a hearts game where somebody with too much hubris or the masochism gene was shooting the moon on queen, nine, three. The purpose of the report is to try to draw public attention away from the fact that the names of the two guys who wrote it are, like, COX and DICKS, and DICKS is, like, the so-called "ranking MEMBER." If you know what I mean. Anyway, according to the glossy 500-page report, back in 1994, China stole top secret plans from MIT for an advanced new form of fire drill, while the President wasn't looking or something, and then changed the color of the packaging and stuck their own brand name on it and started claiming that THEY invented the fire drill, which they also claimed was really called the Chinese fire drill. According to the report, not only that, but the Chinese are also planning to try to make the Chinese fire drill an Olympic sport and are already working on the world famous Olympic selection committee members by giving them college scholarships and vacations in Biarritz up the wazoo and threatening them with the famous British water torture, if they don't play along. c3f.com
