Va. Man, Three Others Arrested, Charged With Espionage

Federal agents today arrested four people on espionage charges, including a Defense Department employee from Alexandria, and accused them of passing classified information to China that included details about the Space Shuttle and U.S. military sales to Taiwan.

The DOD employee, Gregg William Bergersen, 51, was charged in U.S. District Court in Alexandria with conspiracy to disclose national defense information. He is a weapons policy analyst at the Arlington-based Defense Security Cooperation Agency. Also charged in federal court in Alexandria were Tai Shen Kuo, 58, and Yu Xin Kang, 33, both of New Orleans.

Court documents said that Kuo obtained classified documents from Bergersen, often in exchange for cash, at a series of meetings across Northern Virginia, Charleston, South Carolina and Las Vegas. Much of the information was about U.S. military sales to Taiwan, the court documents said. Kuo and Kang face up to life in prison if convicted. Bergersen, of Alexandria, faces up to 10 years in prison.

In a separate case also linked to China, a former Boeing Co. engineer was arrested on charges that he stole Boeing trade secrets related to the Space Shuttle and other programs, including the C-17 military transport aircraft and the Delta IV rocket. Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 72, of Orange, Calif., faces charges of economic espionage, obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

We will feel the repercussions of Clinton's entanglement with the ChiComs for decades to come.

The possible sentences seem very harsh when you look at them through Bill Clinton/Sandy Berger-colored glasses.

Why is this Bergersen getting such a light sentence?  Of course, if Billary wins, he'll be pardoned.

Look at Berger. That sorry mofo can have his clearance reinstated in about 2 more years.  :whatever:

The Bush Administration has been a disaster in terms of prosecuting crimes such as these and it almost always seems like he doesn't want them pursued because he doesn't want to piss off the left. Berger should STILL be in prison.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Anyone wanna wager the blackberry outage yesterday is somehow tied into this?  Kill the network to prevent the DoD folks from erasing anything that might incriminate them.
