From The New York Times (link):
LOU DOBBS is a master of the sinister tease. Last month, he was in top form. Previewing a story, he told viewers of his nightly CNN newscast that when the State Department seeks secure network communications, it “turns to Communist China,” and thus renders the United States “perhaps more vulnerable than ever.”
The story turned out to be another Lou Dobbs exercise in bashing immigrants, or, more precisely, bashing a single immigrant: Lenovo, the PC maker originally based in China that last year acquired I.B.M.’s PC division and is now based in Raleigh, N.C. Lenovo recently won a competitive bid to sell the State Department $13 million worth of personal computers. Mr. Dobbs, like some politicians on Capitol Hill, suggests that those PC’s could provide shadowy spooks in the Chinese government with an ideal means of conducting espionage.
