Yeah, Obama is the answer to all your problems right

This crap has been going on forever. We give everything away for free to anyone. We let any mutt who wants to squat here in and then we give them citizenship.

We are a disgrace to the history of this country. We are giving away everything that men much better than us won through numerous wars and struggles.

Isn't NASA a Fed Agency ? Aren't those jobs only supposed to go to citizens that pass a stringent background check ?

Gee..NASA "interpreted" the law about hiring foreign nationals. So I guess if NASA hires a US contractor then it doesn't care who the contractor employs ?

And this is the same government that wants control of the internet to "keep us safe" ?
ROFL..and they hire Chinese scientists and pay for them to go home to China on vacation taking data with them ?

This is the second "incident" at NASA and there are about 200 foreign nationals working at NASA as contractors.

FBI investigating NASA whistleblower reports of Chinese data breach - FederalNewsRadio.com

NASA officials said the agency's interpretation of the law lets its contractors hire foreign nationals, including those from China, but that those contractors remain responsible for following all U.S. export control laws.
..
The IG said NASA's newly-centralized security operations center does not monitor all of NASA's networks for threats and that cybersecurity efforts such as encrypting all of the agency's laptops are proceeding too slowly because of a lack of internal controls over IT management.

Ever notice how classified secrets in notebook computers have not been left in taxi cabs anymore? We used to have a rash of hard drives and computer thefts over at Los Alamos nuclear weapons laboratory, during Clinton's term as president. but it all stopped shortly after Bush was elected.

Not to mention Clinton giving North Korea a nuclear reactor, and Kim ended up making uranium bombs. Ah yes, those nostalgic days of Clinton.

Bo Jiang, the Chinese national scientist employed by a NASA contractor for work at the space agency's Langley Research Center, was arrested Sunday by the FBI at Dulles International Airport as he tried to flee to China, according to Rep. Frank Wolf, R-VA.

Wolf said during a Capitol Hill news conference today that Jiang’s work at the NASA facility had given him access to information that “would be of the greatest interest to foreign spies, including China.”

Wolf is chairman of a House Appropriations Committee subcommittee that has budget oversight authority for NASA.

I don't think he is trying to "flee" to China though. His mother is still in the US.

Kim made uranium bombs using 2 LWRs that were never completed? Damn, these Koreans are crafty.

Well, apart from the obvious fact that no one in their right mind would use reactors to build uranium-based warheads for obvious reasons. But it's a nice little soundbite, carry on.

So they catch this guy attempting to board a plane to China, and they're just now arresting him?

Can you imagine all the secrets he's ALREADY SENT TO CHINA?!?!

Don't think he's boarding the plane with information, he's already sent that information to China!!!

Why did they wait so long!!!
