Pentagon analyst admits espionage

A US defense department analyst has admitted giving classified information about military communication systems to a businessman working for China.

Gregg Bergersen, 51, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to disclose national defense information "to persons not entitled to receive it". Mr. Bergersen faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced on 20 June.

Correspondents say his admission comes amid growing concern in Washington about the activities of Chinese spies. Four others were arrested in separate case last month for allegedly passing secret details about the space shuttle and other US aerospace programmes to China.

Is about time for …James Bond to go to …Olympics! Actually he’s never done it before!

Pentagon denies Iran policy shift

The resignation of the commander of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan does not signal a policy change on Iran, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates says.

Admiral William Fallon said on Tuesday he was stepping down because of public perceptions of a rift with Mr Bush. A recent article said Adm Fallon opposed military strikes against Iran.

Obviously this is what they mean when they say that they are in denial!!!
