Espionage!

This is coolbert:

From the Chicago Tribune today:

“NATION & WORLD”

“U.S. charges official at Pentagon”

“WASHINGTON, D.C. - - Federal authorities charged a Pentagon official Wednesday with conspiracy to communicate classified information to an agent of the government of China”

“James Fondren Jr. . . . Fondren, 62 is deputy director of the Washington Liaison Office of the Defense Department’s U.S. Pacific Command”

“Fondren conspired to steal U.S. secrets after becoming a consultant following his retirement from active duty as an Air Force lieutenant colonel in 1966 . . . his sole client for this business was a friend named Tai Shen Kuo, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Taiwan”

“Fondren allegedly incorporated Defense Department information, including classified information, into ‘opinion papers’ that he sold to Kuo for $350 to $800 each”

Again, we see the characteristic signature of the Chinese intelligence services. The willingness to work ONLY IN AN INDIRECT MANNER with an agent, Fondren in this case, WHO IS NOT CHINESE!

See these prior blog entries regarding the ability of the Chinese to penetrate with ease [??] American targets:
