Ex-CIA officer arrested for retaining classified information
A former Central Intelligence Agency officer was arrested at a U.S. airport on Monday night in connection with charges that he illegally retained highly classified information, the U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday.
Jerry Chun Shing Lee, a U.S. citizen who now lives in Hong Kong, used to maintain a top secret clearance and began working for the CIA in 1994.
The Justice Department said that in 2012, FBI agents searched his hotel rooms during trips to Virginia and Hawaii. They discovered he had two small books containing handwritten information on details such as the true names and numbers of spy recruits and covert CIA employees.

Must hurt, only knowing one language, and that one not very well.

I'll bet it hurts a lot more to be an arrogant ass. You've forgotten what the meaning and purpose of communication is. Showing off is just ignorant. And, I'm sorry for your labia - not.

Runaway, I am sorry it has come to this, but: "I know you are, but what am I?" You were the one showing off. Unfortunately what you were showing off was your ignorance. I have tried, this and many times before, to warn you. But you do not listen, because you are one arrogant hillbilly son of a gun! Moron labia, yours, biatch!

You wouldn't know a hillbilly if he walked up and bit you on your ass. Or a cowby, or much of anything else. And, truth be told, I have more respect for those various uncouth rednecks, than I have for you. It's amazing how much philosophy you can learn from old men and women in the hills, or in cowtowns, on construction sites, and even in truckstops. All of that from people who may or may not have ever read any of the recognized philosophers.
You? You're proud and arrogant, and you can't learn from anyone except the masters. Unfortunately, you haven't even learned from them.
Now, I think it's time for you to urinate up a vertical length of hemp.

Finally, Runaway, you say something that is true! I have been around much longer than you, and have lived in many more places and travelled much more than you, so of course I know this. And I have learned much from them. You, on the other hand, seem not to have! I criticize you not because you are hillbilly, but because you are an arrogant ignorant hillbilly who is constantly posting misinformation on things you misunderstand.
