Hello Group. I will post some links that seem related, along with a
line or two about the nature, source or significance of each source.
Rueters is reporting today on a report by the U.S. Justice Department's
inspector general.
Title:
Report: FBI missed China spying warning signs
Excerpts:
--------
Inspector General Glenn Fine said that Katrina Leung, who was accused of
being a double agent, had been paid more than $1.7 million by the FBI and
that she had a longtime affair with her handler in Los Angeles, FBI agent
James Smith.
[...]
Leung was originally accused of taking classified documents from Smith but
the case was dismissed because of prosecutorial misconduct that prevented
Smith from talking to her attorneys.
--------
This is related to a Chinese double agent, Katrina Leung, and there
appears to be plenty enough blame to go around. Having read published
news about this for years, I'm still trying to piece together a rational
time-line concerning what happened when, and who knew about it.
Perhaps the inspector general's report does a better job explaining than
Reuters has, but doubt many will be reading its 235 pages. Probably
someone independent of govt. influence should examine these issues to see
that any remaining issues have now been satisfactorily resolved. I
somehow doubt they have been.
The article is by Reuters, served by Yahoo:

I last read about this in connection with an interview with a former NSA
intelligence agent turned wistleblower. The discussion and identity of
the speaker makes a very close connection between this Chinese agent and
the NSA domestic wiretap issue.
This page is dated Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006, and the interveiw discusses
events years in the past and up to the (then) present. It is by Democracy
Now, "Independent, Unembedded Media". A full transcript is available
free via http, and they also serve a full length video via RealMedia
format, audio in mp3, and by CD.
