Bill Richardson summarily fired WHL without due process, ruining Lee's career and reputation and is widely believed to be responsible for leaking WHL's name to the press. Congressional Records state that his Energy Department requested solitary confinement and shackling of WHL, something Amnesty International called "unnecessarily punitive and contravene international human rights standards". Judge Parker specifically named the Department of Energy for misleading him in his open court apology to Wen Ho Lee. These three articles clearly show Dr. Lee was innocent and that he was singled out because of his Chinese ethnicity:
▸ Jude Wanniski memo to Bob Novak, Aug 9, 1999, Recapping the China Spy Story
▸ Bob Drogin, Sep 13, 2000, How FBI's Flawed Case Against Lee Unraveled
▸ Robert Scheer, Oct 23, 2000, How the NY Times convicted WHL
Here are more reasons why Gov. Richardson should not be confirmed by the Senate, besides his bungling of the Wen Ho Lee case.
▸ Pay for play investigation (Pay for play)
▸ Sexually harassed his Lt. Gov. (sexual harassment)
▸ Disloyal (Judas, quid pro quo)
▸ Lied to Congress and lied on his resume (lies)
▸ Will never be confirmed by the Senate (Sen. Byrd, confirmation chance)
▸ No ethics (situation ethics, self-promotional hack)
▸ Poor judgment (poor judgment)
▸ Give illegal immigrants amnesty and driver's licenses (immigration)
