OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SEEM TO BE RIDDLED WITH TRAITORS, HACKS, AND INCOMPETENTS: Former CIA officer sentenced to 19 years for conspiring with Chinese spies; Jerry Chun Shing Lee is the third former U.S. intelligence officer to be convicted in less than a year of conspiring with the Chinese to give them national defense information.

Over the coming months, he said, the Chinese gave him at least 21 separate requests for intelligence secrets. A month after that meeting, Lee deposited $17,000 in cash into his bank account, even though he was operating a failing consulting business at the time. Federal prosecutors told Federal District Court Judge T.S. Ellis that the Chinese gave him a total of $840,000...

Recently, Ann Coulter said that the only thing a lot of these MSM stories can do is tell you that there is a story, and that you're going to have to go on the Web (sometimes to VDARE.com, by the way) to find out what's going on. I looked up this guy, and (surprise!) he is an immigrant.
