All, Information about the wife of Wen Ho Lee working as an FBI informant for years - until she was transferred - has been available in the news media since the story broke. Let's not forget who put this story to the media, was responsible for Wen Ho Lee being removed from sensitive material and later fired, was responsible for initiating the circus that developed - Richardson (later abetted by Trulock who had motives of his own). The Republicans took advantage of the situation (who can blame them, they had a top Clinton official leading the way) because the Justice Department was thwarting the investigations into China related Campaign donations. The Cox report was an 'investigation' with a pre-drawn conclusion. They weren't out to find the truth, but to prove that secrets were stolen by China from Los Alamos and that the Clinton Administration knew about it and did not respond. There is no argument that security was lax at Los Alamos - under Vrooman's watch (more motives) - and that a situation for successful espionage existed, but there is no proof (available to the public) that Los ALamos was the source for information attained by the Chinese - if any - or that Wen Ho Lee was the conduit. Wouldn't it be necessary to prove that secrets were stolen from Los Alamos before trying to prove Wen Ho Lee was the spy that did it? This is just another of the ridiculous events that started when Clinton became a candidate for President. One difference - unlike the others, the Republicans will want this to die as quickly as the Administration, because they all look bad. JMHO, Ron

Here's a counter-thought. Just suppose Ms. Rodham-Clinton were to be <gag> elected Senator to the Great State of New York or Arkansas or whatever in the not too distant future, and does such a bangup job from her party's and constituent's perspective, that 3 or 4 years into her term she decides to toss her Easter bonnet into the Presidential bid ring. Then wins! Slick Willy part duex? What will the former Big He be doing then? When this dink (dual-income-no-kids) duo returns to the hallowed halls of the White House, she in the Oval office, he in the Lincoln Bedroom (?) Strange times these. Stranger times to come.

Hello all - here is another take of the nuclear-spy case nytimes.com My aim of posting this is not to beat the dead horse some more, but to demonstrate how the media have come around to take a neutral stand, like most of the clear headed folks here on this very forum, to consider different scenarios. Additionally, it is interesting the article has stated, in passing, that Mr Trulock has no technical background. The last I heard, he resigned from the govt and took a job with TRW. Incidentally, I read somewhere [Businessweek?] that the defense companies [Loral and another?] might have helped China in improving the rocket launch capability, by helping to correct some of the [American] satellite launch failures. best, Bosco
