ALBUQUERQUE, NM - SEPTEMBER 13: Former Los Alamos nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee (C) is escorted back into the Federal Courthouse after addresses the media following his release from nine months of solitary confinement, 13 September 2000, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. US District Court Judge James Parker ordered the 60-year-old Taiwan-born scientist freed in a plea bargain in which Lee pleaded guilty to one felony count of downloading nuclear weapons design secrets to a non-secure computer at the Los Alamos laboratory.
