Reuters: U.S. Navy officer charged with spying, possibly for China, Taiwan

A U.S. Navy officer with access to sensitive U.S. intelligence faces espionage charges over accusations he passed state secrets, possibly to China and Taiwan, a U.S. official told Reuters on Sunday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified the suspect as Lieutenant Commander Edward Lin, who was born in Taiwan and later became a naturalized U.S. citizen, according a Navy profile article written about him in 2008.

A redacted Navy charge sheet said the suspect was assigned to the headquarters for the Navy's Patrol and Reconnaissance Group, which oversees intelligence collection activities.

The good Lieutenant Lynn was a Congressional Liaison.

Look at the gold braid hanging from the soldier.

McCain was a congressional liaison. He might not be the sharpest tool in the drawer but at least he was no traitor.

The red & yellow ribbon is for being a warm body.

He also has a shooting ribbon.

The top ribbon orange & green I think is a Navy Achievement ribbon. I wonder what it is for.

I would like to know when he joined the Navy. It was about 2001 to 2005.

Lag from Clinton rules?
