Lee spent 9 months in solitary confinement and lost significant salary and retirement benefits.
That's why it was critical that Lee be guilty of *something*, at least one charge, so he doesn't have a strong position for suing the Feds for big bucks individually and organizationally. He may still have some ability to do that, but I'd be surprised if the plea bargain deal didn't address it somehow, even if it's not in the part that's in the press.
This makes it a moral requirement that former Defense Secretary William Perry face a similar period of confinement and similar loss of benefits. Perry has acknowledged downloading top secrets to his home computer and leaving codeword material where his family, housekeepers, and other visitors could have found and copied it.
Was that Perry, or Deutch? I think I saw recently that Deutch _is_ getting his wrist slapped somewhat hard now.
You may be right. It may be Deutch, not Perry. I get those two guys confused all the time. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
