the misstatement of an inexperienced President When you weigh a "mistatement" against all the blatant lies from the previous president which endangered the lives of US citizens, you are more than a little off balance. Don't read the article if your denial is important to you. You may feel remorse for supporting such a lech. Maybe not. A July 1997 Energy Department report detailed even more comprehensively China's ongoing spying. When this report came to light on the eve of Clinton’s scheduled summit with the Chinese president – a meeting designed to dramatize his supposedly unprecedented success in improving relations with Beijing – he did precisely what any gutless, self-absorbed coward would have done in similar circumstances: he ordered the Energy Department to conceal from Congress its findings about Chinese espionage, lest those nasty Republicans use the revelations to tarnish his sterling reputation. Trying to cast a positive light on U.S.-China relations, he cheerfully informed us that, thanks to his skillful diplomacy, "there are no more nuclear missiles pointed at any children in the United States. I'm proud of that." But this was yet another lie, as evidenced by the CIA's April 1998 revelation that 13 of China's 18 intercontinental ballistic missiles were in fact targeted on the United States.
