Bad Research By Rep. Wolf's Staff
Wolf says NASA prompted hiring of person linked to Chinese espionage; may be dozens more in agency, Washington Examiner
“Today, Wolf said he has not received a response from Pete Worden, the retired Air Force general who is director of the Ames facility.”
NASA ARC Centerwide Announcement: Ames and National Security (12 Feb 2013)
“I have offered to talk to the news reporter, meet with the US representatives and/or testify under oath regarding export control issues at Ames.”
Keith’s note: Worden has offered to testify on this issue – under oath – nearly a month ago. Apparently Rep. Wolf’s staff didn’t get that message. Or they forgot. Or they don’t care. The NASA IG met with Rep. Wolf et al a few days ago to tell them all that there is nothing to the IG’s knowledge to substantiate the reports about ITAR issues and espionage at ARC. Yet Rep. Wolf continues to link these claims about ARC to China even after the Justice Department and the NASA OIG state that there is no “there” there.
Maybe their staff needs to follow Nasawatch to keep up on latest NASA gossip. So if worried about Chinese espionage, what about Chinese building everything from cellphones to network systems which none is made in USA? Maybe not ITAR but is commo infrastructure.
The technology of consumer electronics has not been transferred by spying, but by US companies that outsource manufacturing to satisfy their stockholders’ demands for short term profits.
The big, bad, delusional Wolf huffed and puffed, but he couldn’t blow the imaginary house down.
Strikes Eli that somebunny is being nominated for the Wen Ho Lee prize. We know how well that ended.
