Anyone know what the difference is in this context between "spying" and "espionage"? - Hephaestos 06:49, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)

It struck me as well. I'm hoping it will be explained by some cable-TV commentator: it's certain to be arcane and legalistic! -- Someone else 07:06, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)~

Hmm... the Washington Times says he is of "Chinese-American descent", but Korean characters are being used for his name in our article. Is that usual? -- Someone else 07:10, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Korean characters?? I see Chinese characters in the article. -- J3ff 07:45, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The man has been exonerated, someone should update the article.

What makes someone a Muslim-American? I haven't seen anyone described as Christian-American or Jewish-American or whatever here.

I spotted a contradiction in the article. The top section states that Yee went to Syria for religious training. A lower section states that he was stopped at the Canadian border in July 2006 and it was his first trip abroad.

[edit] Chinese Name

I am just curious--what is the deal with the Chinese name listed on the page? Chaplain Yee is a third-generation American with an English first name; does he also have a Chinese given name? Do those characters mean "Yee," or do they include "James"? I am just curious why it was added. After all, Michael Dukakis, who is a first-generation American, does not have his name rendered in Greek letters. --Max power 14:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

The Chinese character for "Yee" (his family name, also pronounced "Yu" depending on the Chinese dialect) is listed, but his given name in Chinese does not translate into "James". Some Chinese Americans have both an "English" name and a "Chinese" name - the English name is a concession to Americanization and inability of most non-Chinese to correctly pronounce Chinese names, while a Chinese name is given as a matter of tradition and maintaining cultural heritage - Chinese names are often selected from names of famous historical figures, references to poetry/literature, or even order of birth. Sometimes a Chinese name indicates the generation within the family, as all the children born in a certain generation will carry a common Chinese character in their names... it's somewhat analogous to a family giving all their children names that begin with the letter "J" like John, Jenny, and James. See the Chinese surname article for more info --Gar2chan 11:06, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

The point is whereas Dukakis's name can be "rendered" in "letters" whether in Greek or in English, Yee's Chinese name cannot, because the Chinese language doesn't operate on a letter system. Yee's Chinese given name has no relationship, phonetic or semantic, to his English given name.
