Has anything changed in this country since September 11th? And what I mean by that is, would our leaders do anything different now to prevent another attack on the US with the benefit of hindsight?

Imagine the headlines. Dateline September 11, 2001. “Racial Bias in the Mohammed Atta Case?â€? Sadly, it appears that a lot more people are going to have to die in our country’s life and death struggle with political correctness.

Both The WaPo and Time head up this weekend’s coverage of an ongoing, large scale Chinese espionage operation against US defense computer networks:

In Washington, officials are tight-lipped about Titan Rain, insisting all details of the case are classified. But high-level officials at three agencies told TIME the penetration is considered serious. A federal law-enforcement official familiar with the investigation says the FBI is “aggressively” pursuing the possibility that the Chinese government is behind the attacks. Yet they all caution that they don’t yet know whether the spying is official, a private-sector job or the work of many independent, unrelated hands. The law-enforcement source says China has not been cooperating with U.S. investigations of Titan Rain. China’s State Council Information Office, speaking for the government, told TIME the charges about cyberspying and Titan Rain are “totally groundless, irresponsible and unworthy of refute.”

Despite the official U.S. silence, several government analysts who protect the networks at military, nuclear-lab and defense- contractor facilities tell TIME that Titan Rain is thought to rank among the most pervasive cyberespionage threats that U.S. computer networks have ever faced. TIME has obtained documents showing that since 2003, the hackers, eager to access American know-how, have compromised secure networks ranging from the Redstone Arsenal military base to nasa to the World Bank.

It is now common knowledge that September 11th happened because “a wallâ€? had been placed between intelligence gathering communities by September 11th Commission member Jamie Gorelick who prior to appointment on that august Commission was Bill Clinton’s Deputy Attorney General serving under Attorney General Stonewall Reno. This “wallâ€? went “beyond what was legally requiredâ€? to keep intelligence agencies from working with criminal investigators. And when the people who are in charge of intelligence aren’t allowed to act on that intelligence, thousands of people get murderered by foreign nationals.

Unsurprisingly, the same people who can extrapolate that the word “fixedâ€? in the so-called Downing Street Memo can undermine the entire invasion of Iraq have extreme difficulty in understanding how Bill Clinton’s (and former presidential hopeful John Kerry’s) White House National Security Adviser Sandy Berglar shoving subpoenaed 9/11 Memos marked “classifedâ€?, “originalâ€?, and “DO NOT REMOVEâ€? into his pants is anything short of treason.

Enter stage left: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. 2008 Democratic Presidential hopeful. Clinton’s Energy Secretary. Enabler of Wen Ho Lee and the Raiders of the Los Alamos. When The Cox Report was issued in 1999 detailing China’s ongoing espionage against the US, here is what Bill Richardson had to say:

“I will not respond to reporters who ask me for the number of Asian Americans or the number of foreign-born scientists at Los Alamos or in my department.� Richardson added. “This is discrimination, and it will not be tolerated.�

He continued: “We will do all we can to make sure that allegations about espionage so far directed against one individual will not be used to impact the careers of other Asian Americans.�

Forbid that a foreign national’s career may have to go through a more intensive background check to keep China from having our nuclear secrets. But this isn’t Richardson’s only foray into dangerous PC doublespeak BS. Most recently, some people praised Richardson for taking a tough stand on immigration. But here is just a little perspective on Border Czar Bill:

In New Mexico, Gov. Richardson has done much the same thing. He now blasts the federal government for not showing “the commitment or the leadership to deal with border issues.â€? He is demanding that officials on the Mexican side bulldoze an abandoned town on the border that serves “as a staging area for illegal drugs and illegal aliens.â€? But Mr. Richardson sang a different tune in late 2003, when he showed up at a rally for the “Immigrant Workers Freedom Rideâ€? and told them, “¡Viva la raza! … Thank you for coming to Santa Fe. Know that New Mexico is your home. We will protect you. You have rights here.â€?

¡Viva la raza! indeed. You MEChA-speak racebaiting traitor.

Richardson is the Democrat’s stalking horse candidate to neutralize the Hispanic vote and add gravitas to a rudderless party. Let’s make sure this one stays in the stable before he turns the entire country into New Mexico and sells out our national security for some more illegal Chinese campaign contributions.
