I feel everything you are saying, but one thing needs to be kept in mind. What Bill has done IS done. The damage is done! How much more he can do to us remains to be seen. How much more he has already done that we haven't seen is a frightening thing to contemplate. We may not know for years and until a lot of lives suffer the ultimate fate just what the ramifications of Clinton's treason have wrought upon us. Michael Medved had a fellow on the radio yesterday from the Seattle P.I.(Newspaper)Teh man is a Military investigator. He told of the 1968 incident surrounding the Scorpion, a nuclear class submarine which that was on patrol and surveillance near a Soviet maneuver per orders. At some point the sub exploded and went down in two miles of water. Nearby sound equipment heard the loud explosion followed by 92 seconds of silence and then another sound like a train wreck as the sub sunk beyond crush depth. From the investigation and interviews the reporter believes that the Soviets were able to know find the sub spying on them and sunk them. This would not have been possible were it not for the treason committed by one John Walker who sold codes and encryption to the Russians. They used these codes to decipher the communications with the sub from their command center. Naval Lore and word of mouth accounts of what happend are thus far the only thing that is available. The Navy has classified all the information surrounding the incident . The old adage about loose lips sinking ships takes on a new meaning when compared to the lips that speak secrets for money to the enemy. And that time if history of course was the cold war. Got to wonder what will be the consequence of Billy's folly for the nation he swore allegiance to. Time for Bill to go before he hurts us any further.

CHINESE PROGRAMMER SENTENCED FOR MILITARY COMPUTER INTRUSION From: FOX News 6:39 p.m. ET - May 22, 1998 DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - A Chinese computer programmer was sentenced Friday to six months at a halfway house for gaining access to a military computer that tracks the combat readiness of Air Force aircraft and missile systems. Steven Liu, 24, was also fined $ 5,000 on a guilty plea to exceeding authorized access to a computer. He had faced up to two years in prison. Liu, who worked for a military contractor in Dayton, downloaded passwords from a database at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He said he accidentally discovered the password file and used it to try to find his job-performance evaluation. The database is not classified. It contains maintenance and failure-rate information about weapons systems and is used to make funding decisions. Air Force investigators said Liu neither destroyed not altered any information and didn't create a way to enter the system once passwords were changed. But they said the Air Force couldn't be sure he didn't supply information to others or that others didn't access the system.
