Case Study: Wen Ho Lee
Was he not a spy?
On multiple accounts he denied giving information to Chinese officials when pressed for nuclear informaiton
The criminal charges against Lee were upon the mishandling of classified information and not on espionage
KSAG stated that 99% of the data needed to build a weapon similar to W-88 was available on the internet so the "Walk-in" document was not sufficient
Mainly visited colleagues in China and Taiwan early on to
present papers and for other academic and business
purposes.
