Governor Rick Perry--who would wish to be President--is in deep doo-doo it would seem on this although I hope not.

In case of the following, it has to be one or the other folks:

A) GOV. PERRY did not know. Which means he is a total IDIOT as a Governor of a major state when it comes to National Security Issues (even I could tell you Huawei Telecom [华为技术有限公司] is an active measures front operation in the business of cyber espionage in the telecom space, directed by the 2nd Bureau of the Ministry of State Security of the Communist Party of China 中华人民共和国国家安全部二局 (overseas Chinese intelligence operation) and accordingly tasked with infiltration of Americab IT/cyber infrastructure.

B) Or GOV. PERRY DID KNOW IT (had knowledge and aforethought), but allowed the investment anyways, in which case it may well border on criminal sedition, knowingly allowing an intelligence front company for the Chi Coms to set up in your state.

It can only be one of the two, when you look at it logically.

Which one is it: IDIOT or SECURITY RISK?

Even the Indians know, this as of over one year ago:

Bharti Jain, ET Bureau May 7, 2010, 03.59am ISTTags:ZTE|R&AW|Huawei|China NEW DELHI: Chinese telecom major Huawei may aggressively deny any link to the China's People's Liberation Army, but independent assessments of Indian intelligence agencies so far clearly point out that PLA remains a customer of the company and has become more involved with it. The security concerns of Indian intelligence agencies about Huawei's close connection with the Chinese security establishment are shared by the US administration and had led the latter to cancel Huawei's 2008 bid to pick up stake in 3Com. Even British intelligence agencies have warned that the Chinese could cripple IT-dependent telecom infrastructure and critical services like water, power and food supplies by embedding malware in equipment installed by firms such as Huawei and ZTE

When we come to the segment on national security in the next Presidential debate, I think this issue should be raised. Not sure who is going to do it, but it should be raised indeed and we should demand an explanation.
