Bad as the news is, I'm wondering what's behind quotes like this:

"The Clinton administration has determined that additional information in this section cannot be publicly disclosed."

Only the Chinese and administration officals can know this additional info. The rest of the world already knows it but the American people no we gotta keep it from them.

I know it's technically off topic, but it has been a continuing item of discussion here. Personally, I'm starting to think of Y2K and nuclear threats in very similar terms.

That Quote is very exactly why this is ON TOPIC!!!!!

Obviously the Clintonista's don't won't the public to get a grasp on the true scope of how bad the potential for national damage is. Or how badly the administration played the issue when twenty years of Chinese nuclear spying began to be realized.

The fact that the administration began getting information on the security leaks in early 1996 and that they sat on them until after the 1998 elections says volumes of what Clinton's priorities are: *politics over country*.

But as many here are wont to put things, "The Dow is still over 10,000 so nothing else matters." Maybe to ram home the point, somebody ought to get hold of the numbers on what it cost the US in real *national treasure*, not just mere tax dollars to develope all the technology that the Chinese stole.

Tell todays American public that somebody stole trillions (and that might not be far off) of dollars worth of high-tech info from the American taxpayers and maybe there might not be much public apathy. Especially since the taxpayers are going to have to pay to regain the technological advantage that was lost through those thefts.
