前天写在中美两国都被以间谍罪起诉并判刑的中国女人这篇日志的时候，突然想起多年前因为刺杀里根而名扬天下的约翰辛克利（ John Hinckley），这两人在已知的任何宇宙空间都没有交集，唯一的相似之处是截止到前天，也就是2016年7月26日；他们的关押时间都远远的超过了他们的刑期和所有人的想象。当天写完上述的日志后就有心比较一下这两件事情。第二天打开电脑准备查点关于辛克利的资料，结果一眼就看到他被释放的消息。不知道是哭还是笑，我这嘴是有毒呀还是有毒呀？买彩票的时候又没这么准了！
“Zhan Gao petitions for review of a final decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") denying her applications for withholding of removal and asylum. The BIA determined through adjudication that she was ineligible for these forms of relief because her conviction for unlawful export of military technology was a "particularly serious crime," even though it was not classified as an aggravated felony.
In her petition for review, Gao makes two principal arguments. For purposes of withholding of removal, she argues that only aggravated felonies can qualify as particularly serious crimes. For purposes of asylum, she contends that a non-aggravated felony can qualify as a particularly serious crime only if the Attorney General first designates it as such through regulation.
After careful consideration, we reject both arguments. We defer to the BIA's reasoned view that an offense need not be an aggravated felony to qualify as a particularly serious crime for purposes of withholding. Furthermore, we conclude that the BIA may determine that a non-aggravated felony is a particularly serious crime for purposes of asylum through the process of case-by-case adjudication. We likewise reject Gao's additional arguments and deny her petition.
“us official are not sure if Zhan’s arrest in China in 2001, where she was sentenced for selling secrets to Taiwan, then given a “medical parole”, was a ruse to influence her to cooperate with them. Zahn(Zhan) denies speculation that her detention was of a Chinese government ruse. Is it possible the arrest and conviction were a ruse to either cover for Zhan’s spying activities or to engender the support of Zahn(Zhan) by the US government? Yes, it is possible, and as it goes in the intelligence world, we may never know the “rest of the story”
