EX-pentagon official who spied for China gets 3 years
2010-01-23
[Iran Press TV Latest] A former US Defense Department official has been sentenced to three years in prison on charges of spying for China and lying to investigators.

James Fondren Jr., 62, was accused of providing classified Pentagon documents to a naturalized US citizen from Taiwan, Tai Shen Kuo, who had close contacts with an unnamed Chinese government official.

Fondren was also in email contact with the Chinese official and met him during a visit to China in 1999.

Fondren provided classified information to Kuo between 2004 and 2008, while he served as the deputy director of the Washington liaison office of US Pacific Command. The Justice Department did not describe the type of documents that were transferred.

#4  Compare to the gentleman who passed information to Israel, who got life in solitary confinement. Clearly Israel is a more dangerous enemy to the United States than China is.

#3  Holder took the "Justice" out of DOJ his first day in office. The recent move to try terrorists in US civilian courts is simply a method to avoid the death penalty and keep Barry's good name OFF of military tribunal death sentences, which he would have to ultimately sign as Commander in Chief.

#2  They say that the punishment behind a law is a good indication of what value you hold the importance of that law.

This is how much the Justice Department values the security of the United States. [SPIT!]
