Malkin - Red Chinese Join Captain Yee's Sympathy Circle
2004-04-23
Excerpt...
According to the Zhongguo Xinwen She news agency, the Chinese ambassador to the United Nations, Sha Zukang, blasted the U.S. for "racial discrimination" and cited "the recent case against Chinese American Yousef Yee" as an example of America's "domestic human rights situation." The absurdity of turning this into a racial issue is topped only by the sanctimony of Ambassador Sha, representative of the Falun Gong-torturing, political dissent-steamrolling, one-child-policy pioneers in Beijing, who fulminated that "the United States should look at itself in a mirror." Captain Yee's stateside defenders, such as Cecilia Chang of the San Francisco Bay Area-based grievance group Justice for New Americans, likewise pretend he was viciously singled out for being the child of "immigrant minorities." Chang complained, "Many people who don't look very 'American' are being targeted."

This is identity-politics opportunism of the worst kind. The fact that Yee was of Chinese descent had about as much to do with the case as his shoe size. The issue is our continued vulnerability to Islamist infiltration, particularly in the armed forces. Yee's race card-playing team conveniently ignores the recent arrest of Ryan Anderson, the white Muslim National Guardsman accused of trying to pass information about military capabilities to al Qaeda over the Internet -- as well as the other alleged espionage cases at Guantanamo Bay involving Ahmad F. Mehalba, an Egyptian-American Muslim civilian interpreter charged with lying about computer CDs in his baggage that contained classified information from Guantanamo, and Air Force Senior Airman Ahmad I. al Halabi. Al Halabi, a Syrian-American Muslim, faces 17 charges of espionage, lying and disobeying orders, and also stands accused of failing to report his contacts with the Syrian Embassy to his superiors and of repeatedly lying to Air Force investigators.
