Lee was arrested today at his New Mexico home and arraigned in Albuquerque. A
short time ago, US Attorney John Kelly spoke to reporters about the case.
Lee was fired from his top secret job last March and named the prime suspect by
the government in the theft of design plans for the W-88, America's most
sophisticated nuclear warhead...plans that allegedly ended up in China.
BILL RICHARDSON, ENERGY SECRETARY, Aug. 2:
I PERSONALLY ORDERED HIS FIRING WHEN I FOUND OUT WHAT HE HAD DONE, HIS VIOLATIONS WERE VERY SERIOUS SECURITY BREACHES.
But some involved in the investigation have claimed Lee is simply a scapegoat
for the labs' security problems...and was targeted because he's Asian-American.
60 MINUTES:
Lee admitted to Sixty Minutes' Mike Wallace that he moved classified material
to an unclassified computer for convenience, but insisted he is no spy.
WEN HO LEE/JULY from Sixty Minutes:
THE TRUTH IS I'M INNOCENT. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG WITH WHAT THEY TRY TO
ACCUSE ME.
Prosecutors insist Lee downloaded stunning amounts of sensitive information, tra
sferred it to computer tapes, and walked out of the lab with it. The
indictment falls short of espionage because ..sources say officials don't have
the computer tapes and can't prove Lee gave them to China or anybody else.
ATTKISSON/CBS News:
The Lee camp has been keeping a very low profile. Look for a huge change in
strategy: his lawyers plan to come out swinging and say Lee will enter "not
guilty" pleas on ))

The Government has asked that Lee be held without bail. That triggers a hearing on the issue in the coming days.
