This is just stunning...
A woman who was freed from a Chinese prison with President George W. Bush's help sold sensitive U.S. technology to Chinese military affiliates after her release, U.S. government lawyers said Monday.
Gao Zhan, of Herndon, Va., received a hero's welcome in 2001 when China deported her to the U.S. after six months in jail. China accused her of spying for Taiwan, a charge her supporters denied.
Bush intervened in the case directly, asking then-President Jiang Zemin to free Gao and another U.S.-based academic who had been jailed.
Now Gao is a convicted felon fighting efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to deport her to China. An immigration hearing began Monday to determine whether Gao is a national security risk.
When Gao returned to the U.S. in 2001, she used her celebrity status to criticize the Chinese government on human rights.
But, in private, Gao resumed her business exporting various technologies to China, Homeland Security attorney Maryellen Meymarian said Monday.
I think this is a pretty simple case...kick her a$$ out.
