After two days of intense interrogation, Lin confessed to telling a recently retired Taiwanese naval officer and others some highly classified details about the U.S. Navy’s weapons programs, including the Long Range Anti-ship Missile under development, the high-speed rail gun and the Laser Weapon System being tested in the Persian Gulf, according to statements made at a recent motion hearing in a courtroom in Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia.
Read the whole thing. It’s very intriguing. For instance, he’s a SIGINT guy, but the information he’s accused of compromising has nothing to do with intel.
How does a Signals Intelligence guy, get access to highly classified weapons systems programs??
THAT, should be the question they asking as well

What access? From the article I read his stuff was open source.
Apparently his biggest "crime" was failure to report his continuing contact with Taiwanese officials.

Open source? Doesn't -
"...some highly classified details about the U.S. Navy’s weapons programs..."
from the quote above mean *not* open-source?

"90% to 95%, maybe even 99% of what someone would think is secret is available at a good public library. The keys are; how good the library is, and knowing where to look."
Not sure where or when I read this, but I think it was R. A. Heinlein.
