The Wen Ho Lee Case and You With the government's case against Wen Ho Lee now in tatters, it's clear that none of us is safe. It's not, mind you, that he knows so many nuclear secrets or that he might, as the government once suspected, offer them to a foreign government. Nothing of the sort. It's rather that his prosecution--a botched, virtually criminal affair--proves that any one of us can spend months in jail on charges that would be thrown out in court. washingtonpost.com

Air crashes blamed on military pulses Robin McKie, Science Editor Sunday September 10, 2000 Electromagnetic pulses from military craft may have been responsible for several civilian airline disasters in the past four years. If the theory is proved correct, it suggests navy ships and air force planes pose a lethal threat to passenger flights. Crash investigators have been startled by similarities between several tragedies. In particular, they have uncovered common features in two crashes: Swissair 111, on 2 September 1998, and TWA 800, on 17 July 1996. Both planes took off from the same airport, New York's JFK, on the same day, a Wednesday, at the same minute, 8.19pm. Both followed the same route over Long Island. Both reported trouble in the same region of airspace, and both suffered catastrophic electrical malfunctions. And on both occasions the planes were flying at a time when extensive military exercises - involving submarines and US Navy P3 fighter planes - were being conducted. observer.co.uk
