...boss, Richard Krajcek, testified that Lee admitted to failing an FBI polygraph on which he said he never spied for China. Krajcek went on to describe documents Lee is known to have placed on an insecure computer mainframe as the "crown jewels" of American military secrets. Then a FBI agent said that Lee had a clandestine meeting with Chinese officials in a Beijing hotel room on an Energy Department trip to China in 1998.

His new pals were dazzled by his ability to straddle two worlds. As DiCaprio manager Rick Yorn once said...
...walked into an ornate conference room in Hafez Assad's Damascus palace last week, Madeleine Albright stole a quick glance at the door to a nearby bathroom. The only excitement during her previous meeting with the Syrian President had been getting locked in that bathroom until a security agent pried open the door. She'd avoid the room this time, but Albright expected the same demands from Assad that had so far blocked talks with Israel on returning the Golan Heights to Syria.
