Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, February 23, 2013

A four-year FBI investigation into the transfer of classified weapons technology to China and other countries from NASA's Ames Research Center is being stonewalled by government officials, sources tell FoxNews.com.

Documents obtained by FoxNews.com, which summarize these and other allegations and were given to congressional sources last week by a whistle-blower, described how a "secret grand jury" was to be convened in February 2011 to hear testimony from informants in the case, including a senior NASA engineer. But federal prosecutor Gary Fry was removed from the case, which was then transferred from one office in the Northern District of California to another where, according to the documents, "this case now appears to be stalled."

Melinda Haag, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California, denied claims her office was blocked in trying to proceed with the case.

Yet two members of Congress, Reps. Frank Wolf, R-Va., and Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said in a statement to FoxNews.com that Haag's denial "conflicts with information we have received from federal law enforcement sources," and added "we hope that the DOJ Inspector General will take our request seriously." The lawmakers had requested, via letter, an IG investigation.

Information on guidance and terrain-mapping systems from the Tomahawk cruise missile and a radar from the F-35 were also shared, according to one report in Aviation Week.

House Chairmen Say NASA May Have Released DOD Secrets To China

he Republican chairmen of the two House committees with NASA oversight responsibility have charged publicly that senior leadership at the space agency may have been involved in the leak of classified information to China and other nations, and that a federal criminal probe into the charges has been dropped under "political pressure."

According to sources at Ames and on Capitol Hill, the case involves Ames Center Director Simon P. "Pete" Worden and members of the center's staff who are not U.S. citizens. Among the technology in question is a propulsion system originally developed for missile defense applications that was adapted for NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (Ladee). Now entering thermal vacuum test at Ames, Ladee is a robotic mission designed to study the Moon's thin atmosphere and conditions near its surface from an equatorial orbit. It is scheduled for launch this summer.

Worden, a former Air Force brigadier general with a reputation as a bureaucratic entrepreneur, has been the target of unsubstantiated allegations along the lines mentioned in the congressional letters since last summer.

Asked where any political pressure might have originated, one congressional staffer said Friday, "I have every reason to believe, based on information I've seen, that Worden has a history of leveraging his supporters who may have connections with the White House or senior NASA management to intervene on his behalf.

Well, that headline blames Holder rather than Obama, but same article.

That ain't the only destruction of NASA done by Obama. I've heard their #1 mission is now to be Muslim friendly. Somehow that began by lying for Toyota.

And now China? When...

If you have no interest in this story maybe you are living in the wrong country? I'll bet you were all ears over Bush letting seven U.S. Attorneys go? Which is more important critical defense information being sold to China or a legal house cleaning?

Please, seriously, you're starting to sound like some geezer who never got over the Sixties and is still yammering through flapping gums, "Amurika, love it or leave it."

"Amurika, love it or leave it." Maybe it's a time to revisit that.

Another fine example of "the most transparent administration in history!" I haven't heard yet, are they still holding out that Benghazi was just a mob out of control and does anybody know who the survivors were and where they are?

Totally off topic, but you are so completely inaccurate recounting either Benghazi attack, where do you get that kind of "information"?

On topic: [...] NASA.
