WASHINGTON -- A Defense Department analyst and several Chinese nationals were arrested Monday on charges of selling military secrets to the Chinese government.
Earlier today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided a home in an upscale, uptown New Orleans neighborhood Monday morning in connection with the case, law enforcement officials said. (

Tai Shen Kuo, age 58, and Yu Xin Kang, age 33, both of New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gregg William Bergersen, age 51, of Alexandria, Va., were taken into custody. All three are accused of selling U.S. data intended for Taiwan to the Chinese government in Beijing, according to the law enforcement officials.
In a separate case, officials arrested Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 72, of Orange, Calif., after he was indicted last week on charges of economic espionage and acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the Chinese government. The indictment claims he took Boeing trade secrets relating to the space shuttle, the C-17 military transport aircraft and the Delta IV rocket.
I wonder how much of this we put up with just we because we owe them $2 trillion.
