Clinton 'Troubled' at Way Wen Ho Lee Was Treated dailynews.yahoo.com I say Fire Richardson, Reno and all the prosecutors who pursued this travesty, convict Deutch for the same felony and lock him up in solitary confinement for the same duration, fire that FBI guy who gave false testimony about the "crown jewels", take the law license of that bozo guy you quoted in the previous article, issue a public apology on behalf of the nation to all Chinese Americans and forget about having any great Chinese American scientist work for the govt anymore, the damage has been done... I hope Lee sues them of course, a million per day in solitary confinement, that will teach them something... This is what my wife (and me) want, her last name is Lee, for some reason she did not adopt my last name<g> Clinton 'Troubled' at Way Wen Ho Lee Was Treated WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton (news - web sites) said on Thursday he was troubled at the way federal prosecutors blocked bail for months for Los Alamos nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee (news - web sites). ``I always had reservations about the claims that were being made denying him bail,'' Clinton told reporters during an appearance on the White House South Lawn. Lee, 60, was released from prison on Wednesday under a plea bargain in which he pleaded guilty to one felony count of downloading nuclear weapons design secrets to a non-secure computer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. He was never charged with espionage. He was arrested last December on 59 counts of illegally copying design secrets, to which he pleaded not guilty. Clinton said he and others in the White House had taken on good faith the claims federal prosecutors were making against Lee, that he could not be freed on bail because he was a danger to national security. ``All of a sudden they reach a plea agreement which will, if anything, make his alleged offense look modest compared to the claims that were made against him. So the whole thing was quite troubling to me,'' Clinton said.
