Spy Suspect

Re “Suspected Spy Faced Inquiry 15 Years Ago,” May 6: First, the FBI never tells the New Mexico lab or the Energy Department that Wen Ho Lee failed a polygraph test. When in a review of Lee’s top-secret “Q” rating the information about the polygraph is discovered, it was sent to the Energy Department and was subsequently lost. The information that the FBI investigation would not be jeopardized if Lee’s security clearance was lifted, or if he were transferred, was not passed on to officials at the Los Alamos lab.

Did you ever wonder what happened to the Keystone Kops of silent movie fame? Now we know.
