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.

Ex-C.I.A. Officer Suspected of Compromising Chinese Informants Is Arrested

A former C.I.A. officer suspected by investigators of helping China dismantle United States spying operations and identify informants has been arrested, the Justice Department said on Tuesday. The collapse of the spy network was one of the American government's worst intelligence failures in recent years.

    We are all very much aware of your faults, Hazuki. No need to recite them for us. Actually, you have about ten major faults, and the rest are just minor faults. Your pigheadedness is an iffy one - major, or minor? But, if you want to play that minimalization game with your faults, go for it. Some people may believe you.

    Okay, you're either conversant enough in Japanese culture to know my surname is out front, or you know me from somewhere. Who in the hell are you, and where do you get off saying things like that?

          With such great humility as that, it can only be one soylentil!

          But it is just an Anonymous Coward, one among six thousand other Anonymous Cowards. But I do sense that this one is particularly cowardly, and sensitive to slight. We will prey for him.

            This seems to be the beginning of a harassment campaign. It's either the same guy or multiple people replying across several threads and automatically troll-modding anything I post. This would be amusing if it weren't for the waste of perfectly good electrons being spent on it.

            It's also a shame he/they can't register an account and post under an actual name. Sounds like my balls are bigger than his, and they're ovaries :)

              Oh, I know who it is. Little curmudgeon of very little brain! Right-wing scum ammosexual prevert! He has done this before. I myself was personally spam modded by him. I assume he paid the usual price, but of course our closet not really admin but dev and so default alt-right admin would never reveal such a thing. But I do notice a shift. The Trumpeeple, the alt-right, the really-really-wrong, they are all coming to a realization that the gig is up. Patience, Azuma-san. 復讐は一番寒い料理です。

                I don't think this is Uzzard. It's way too coherent and calm. I don't detect even a single particle of foaming saliva. No, this is probably some rando who doesn't even have a registered account on here, probably jumping from Tor node to Tor node just for the lulz. There's one way to find out (well, two, but I'd rather not commit cyber-crime...).

              Oh, FFS - you do know why women rub their eyes when the wake up in the morning? Those are the only balls they have to scratch.

              And, what's with this sensitivity shit? Someone hit a nerve by addressing you by name? That would be some funny shit, if it weren't so damned pathetic.

                Sure, my name actually is Hazuki Azuma. Right. You are aware that this is nearly the Japanese equivalent of "Jane Doe?" Everyone and their dog knows, and in a few cases *is,* an Azuma. It's like Smith or Johnson.

            I haven't turned into a witch yet. Somehow my soul gem is still clear. How that is, I don't know, but regular Luminous with my love seems to be part of the answer :)
