Very interesting that this should come up...

Evidence to date indicates that Wen Ho Lee was actually a Chinese intel agent allowed into sensitive US nuclear facilities by Klinton, knowing him to be an agent.

Wonder why it is now coming up?

WASHINGTON � A federal judge has ordered five reporters, including one from The Associated Press, to reveal their sources for stories that portrayed Wen Ho Lee (search), a former nuclear weapons scientist, as a chief suspect in a Chinese espionage investigation.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson (search) ordered the reporters to answer questions about their sources and to provide Lee's attorneys with notes and other documents from their reporting.

"It does not detract from the importance of the First Amendment principle at stake to conclude, in the instant case at least," that making possible evidence of government leaks available for trial outweighs the interest of keeping sources confidential, wrote Jackson.
