Lee’s Legal Rights
Re Robert Scheer’s “Lee Does Penance for Justice Dept.’s Sins,” Commentary, July 25: The plight of Wen Ho Lee should enrage the public with the total disregard for the legal right of due process. It is evident that Lee, being held in solitary confinement (unbelievable as that may be), is a scapegoat trapped between a hostile Congress out to discredit the president and an administration trying to assure the public that security procedures are being endorsed. Meanwhile, Lee has been deprived of his legal rights by being held without bail.
There is something horribly wrong with this picture!
