Ex DIA Officer Busted for Spying for China

Bill Clinton actually made it easy for China when he authorized changing sales restrictions to Chinese military on missile tech in the late '90s, but the Washington Times reports the Billy Jeff was not alone in selling out his country to the "East is Red" sleeping giant.

China had its own little ring of spies who were so pro-China when they worked inside the govt that they were:
...among a number of U.S. intelligence officials who came under suspicion of being informants following the defection of a Chinese intelligence official in the late 1980s. The defector revealed that Beijing had successfully developed five to 10 clandestine sources of information here.

Montaperto also was part of an influential group of pro-China academics and officials in the U.S. policy and intelligence community who share similar benign views of China. The group, dubbed the Red Team by critics, harshly criticizes anyone who raises questions about the threat posed by Beijing's communist regime.

The question remains whether a free society based on Democracy and freedom of speech can withstand totalitarian and statist tyrannies like China, Russia, and some of the Stans which are now forming the "Shanghai Cooperation Group," a sort of counterpart to NATO in the Far East.

You won't read about the SCG in the MSM, of course, because it downplays any and all threats to US security and strategic pre-eminence---to the point of not covering them at all. Pravda-on-the-Hudson and the lax LAT, as only two of many fatuous soft-headed liberal outlets, are simply Pollyannish, and blabber on about human perfectability and civil liberties while undermining both in their editorial and news management policies.

My point is that this extraterrestrial idealism gives weak-minded academics the mindset to betray their country, aided by incentives or extortions we can only guess about.
