Benjamin Bishop, top secret clearance, I mean affair

[Amati]

From the SB breaking news:

The federal government has charged a civilian defense employee with leaking classified information about nuclear weapons, early warning radar systems and other programs to a Chinese national with whom he had a romantic relationship.

Benjamin Pierce Bishop, 59, a former U.S. Army officer who works as a civilian employee of a defense contractor at U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii, was arrested Friday and made his initial court appearance today

The affidavit said Bishop has had a romantic relationship since June 2011 with a 27-year-old woman who is a citizen of the People’s Republic of China who is residing in the United States on a visa. They met in Hawaii during a conference regarding international military defense issues.

Now who could have seen that coming? 59 yr old Top Secret security clearance, 27 Chinese conference attendee ... true love.

[Wonder if Mr.Top Secret has a wife?]
