The case against Wen Ho Lee, accused of passing details of classified US
nuclear weapons research to China, seems to be collapsing. His chief accuser,
Notra Trulock, deputy director of intelligence with the Department of Energy,
has resigned amid allegations that his actions were racially motivated. Lee has
not been indicted despite being dismissed in March from his job at the Los
Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It now seems unlikely that he will be,
especially since the former director of the CIA, John Deutch, was not charged
after committing the offence on which the allegations against Lee are
based—transferring sensitive files to an unclassified computer.
