With all due respect, that's an insult to Billy Dale. The FBI, etc., was ready to walk away from Lee altogether when they uncovered to their utter astonishment his nuclear files. That was just too big to cover up, but note that he wasn't prosecuted for espionage, simply mishandling classified data. Lee was no scapegoat or any of the other excuses his supporters offered up.

I've heard Dr. Bill Wattenberg of KGO-San Francisco, excoriate Wen Ho Lee. Dr. Wattenberg is a nuclear scientist associated with Livermore Labs. He has worked at Los Alamos as well. It is clear to anyone who understands how security is handled at top secret levels that Lee violated the most basic rules. The attempt to make excuses for his behavior is either part of a cover-up or of a totally ignorant state of mind. What is really a head-scratcher to me is how Lee found employment at such a high level given the fact that his loyalty, by his birth, is to another nation.

What, then, are you accusing Lee of?

The Clintons accused him of being a spy, just like they accused Billy Dale of being an embezzler.

In both cases there was circumstanial evidence, or in Dale's case it should be called superficial.

The Clinton administration arrested Lee. The Clinton prosecution lied under oath to persuade the judge to put him in solitary. Bill Richardson, paragon of virtue, oversaw it all.

How do you differ from the Clinton accusations and prosecutions?

PS, I think those that have latched on to Lee are not very good at all, eg Committee of 100, 80-20. Especially with respect to the cries of racism.
