#5 The editor's none too bright. The damage is to US intelligence and it's massive. We've just lost a highly-placed mole. I have to wonder if we could have provided a defector package to Wang Lijun and thereby diverted attention from our mole. Did Obama more or less sign this mole's death warrant by not taking Wang in?

#6 I have to wonder if the FBI was a little too ham-handed in apprehending the spies whose identities were provided by this mole. If David Cornwell's novels are anything to go by, spy agencies are supposed to throw a lot of red herrings in the path of whatever foreign intel agencies are engaged in trying to figure how one of their own was discovered while operating abroad. Over the past several years, the pace at which Chinese spies were being arrested seemed a little high. Now we know why - we had someone on the inside.

Was Barack "007" Obama involved in trying to generate positive headlines for himself? When Bush was president, Senior Colonel Xu Junping, Director of Strategy in China's Defence Ministry, who came in from the cold in March 2001, after having begun working for the Taiwanese intelligence services in 1999. Why couldn't our guy have done the same? What a disaster for future agent recruitment - the impression being given here is that (1) we won't accept defectors and (2) we will keep moles working for us in place until they are captured (and eventually executed).

#7 you may have just nailed 0bama's intel strategy. He wants china to prosper at our expense. he might even have dropped the dime on the mole for campaign cash. nothing is beyond him.
