Quote of the day from the New York Times, Judge apologizes to Wen Ho Lee: >>Judge Parker, a Reagan appointee known for his measured manner and unusual patience, said he felt so deeply troubled by the government's consistent pattern of abusive actions that he expressed to Dr. Lee, a man who minutes before had admitted to a felony, his dismay that the government had unleashed the full force of its powers so arrogantly. "I have no authority to speak on behalf of the executive branch, the president, the vice president, the attorney general, or the secretary of the department of energy," the judge said, but "as a member of the third branch of the United States government, the judiciary, the United States courts, I sincerely apologize to you, Dr. Lee, for the unfair manner you were held in custody by the executive branch." At another point, the judge added that he felt he had improperly denied bail to Dr. Lee. "I tell you with great sadness that I feel I was led astray last December by the executive branch of our government through its Department of Justice, by its Federal Bureau of Investigation and by its United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico, who held office at that time." nytimes.com
