\_ Was Cliton CEO of Hughes? I never knew that.
\_ His administration approved it all.
\_ Yeah yeah. Reagan and Bush admins approved the sale of
chemical weapons to Iraq. LBJ and Nixon bombed Cambodia
and Kennedy played brinksmanship with nukes. So what?
\_ Hughes CEO should get arrested, lock him up in solitary
confinement, shackle him from the waist down for 9 month for
this. Wen-Ho Lee got that treatment without even do that. |

| www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/822768/posts State Department reveals that the most successful Chinese espionage operation in recent history occurred during the Clinton administration. According to the State Department, the most serious violations occurred when Hughes gave the Chinese army information that supported its analyses of the investigation of the January 1995 failure of the launch of a China Long March 2E (LM-2E) rocket carrying the Hughes-manufactured ASTAR II commercial communications satellite. The first failure of the LM-2E in December 1992 involved an attempted launch of the Hughes OPTUS B-2 commercial communications satellite. According to a 1998 Defense Department investigation, the reason for Hughes passing the technical information to China was because the Chinese army blamed Hughes for the rocket failure. The subsequent joint Hughes-Chinese failure investigation was apparently intended, at least in part, to resolve this dispute," states the 1998 Defense Department report. The 2002 State Department letter makes it clear that they believe Gen. Shen led the successful penetration of the Clinton administration and Hughes. Shen was second in command of a Chinese army unit known as COSTIND, or the Commission On Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Shen, and his COSTIND operatives in front companies, secured a wide range of advanced missile and space technology from Hughes after a 1994 meeting with Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Commerce documents obtained using the Freedom of Information Act show that Brown met with Gen. President Clinton personally authorized the meeting between the Chinese general and Brown. Before moving to Commerce, Brown headed the Democratic National Committee. The Federal Election Commission fined the DNC in 2002 for "knowingly and willingly" accepting donations from Chinese army sources. Shen did obtain help from the White House by pressuring Hughes with satellite contracts. Hughes CEO Michael Armstrong wrote President Clinton in 1993 threatening to pull support for Clinton if he did not allow the space technology transfers to China. In 1994, Clinton approved a waiver for Hughes to transfer advanced satellite encryption systems to China. Shen managed to get his son, Shen Jun, a job at Hughes as the lead software engineer for all Chinese satellites. According to Hughes, Shen Jun had access to "proprietary" satellite source code. According to the State Department, Hughes contends that it followed the law with regard to hiring Gen. Cryptographic technology is used to scramble communications sent to satellites to prevent unauthorized access. President Clinton, who transferred the power to regulate sensitive satellites to Commerce, under Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, ultimately overruled Christopher. Hughes satellites currently provide the Chinese army with secure communications that are invulnerable to earth combat and highly accurate all-weather navigation for strike bombers and missiles. Hughes satellites purchased by Shen also provide direct TV and cable TV broadcasts to most of Asia. Thus, cable and pay-per-view services help pay for the Chinese army satellite communications. The brilliant planning and logistics mean that Chinese military communications pay for themselves. Clinton Legacy - A New Arms Race The satellite and missile technology obtained from Hughes by the Chinese army is critical for the design and manufacture of missile nose cones and electronic missile control systems. The success of Shen is a story of missiles, politics and greed. Shen succeeded in using Hughes and President Clinton as valuable tools to obtain weapons that are now pointed at the United States. The Clinton legacy for the 21st century is a new arms race.
