By whose account, Allen? I think you're full of crap, not that that's unusual That committee, chaired by Rep. Christopher Cox, R-Calif., embraced the findings of Energy Department intelligence analysts who concluded that China stole design data from the W-88 warhead from Los Alamos in the 1980s and that the theft was critical to Beijing's development of a modern, miniaturized nuclear warhead. (from nytimes.com Then, there's the interesting time in nytimes.com 1978 -- Wen Ho Lee is hired at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 1982 -- Lee calls scientist suspected of stealing neutron bomb secrets from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and discusses ongoing federal investigation of that case. The FBI eavesdrops on the call, but does not launch investigation of Lee. Early 1980s -- Lee develops a relationship with the FBI, providing "useful information" to bureau in at least one case. 1983 -- Lee transfers nuclear bomb data from a classified computer system at Los Alamos to an unclassified network open to outsiders. 1986 -- Lee delivers a paper at scientific conference in Beijing. 1987 -- Lee's wife, Sylvia, a secretary at Los Alamos, becomes an informant for the FBI, providing information on visiting Chinese delegations. 1988 -- Lee delivers another paper at a conference in Beijing. 1995 -- Scientists at Los Alamos tell Energy Department intelligence officials that they suspect China has stolen the designs of the W-88, America's most advanced nuclear warhead. Later, the CIA obtains a 1988 Chinese document with specific references to W-88 technology. Energy Department and FBI officials begin searching for a mole. Keep crapitulating, though. That's what you do best, Allen.
