ALEXANDRIA,
Va. -- A Pentagon analyst has pleaded guilty to delivering classified
information about U.S. and Taiwanese military communications systems to
a Louisiana businessman working with the Chinese government.
Gregg Bergersen, of Alexandria, Va., was a weapons analyst at the Defense Security Cooperation Agency who held top secret security clearances. He was arrested last month.
Prosecutors said the 51-year-old divulged military secrets to a New Orleans furniture salesman, Tai Kuo, who turned over the information to communist China.
Bergersen faces up to 10 years in prison when sentenced on June 20.
According to a statement of facts, Bergersen thought that Kuo was closely affiliated with the Taiwan Ministry of Defense. He was unaware though that Kuo also maintained contact with a foreign official from Beijing, to whom Kuo was relaying the information.
