But rather than comparing it with the Rosenbergs, some people are calling this nuclear espionage's Richard Jewell case -- asking why, if Wen Ho Lee is so bad, we don't have enough to arrest the guy." Months of leaks from the Cox committee's classified report alleging nuclear negligence have prepared Washington to expect a damning indictment of the Clinton administration's national security record, and anything less may be an anticlimax...
