An Overview; The Wen Ho Lee Case
Date: 28 September 2000
Editorial overview of case against Wen Ho Lee, former nuclear scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who pleaded guilty to mishandling nuclear data; examines charges against Lee, as well as criticisms of Justice Department's handling of case; focuses on presentation of government's case by FBI Dir Louis J Freeh and Atty Gen Janet Reno before joint session of Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees, which it says gave sobering account of Lee's pattern of suspicious and ultimately illegal activities; defends Times's coverage, which has been criticized in media and elsewhere, but admits that reporters too quickly accepted government's theory that espionage was main reason for Chinese nuclear advances and its view that Lee had been properly singled out as prime suspect; says, however, that Lee's gross and consistent mishandling of classified material beginning in 1993 seems beyond reasonable dispute (M)
