BRIAN NELSON, CNN ANCHOR: Wen Ho Lee has been held in federal custody since last December, but last week, a federal judge ruled that Lee can be freed on a million dollars bail until his trial, scheduled for November. He still must abide by strict home-detention rules. For Lee's family, though, it has been an extremely trying experience. His daughter is now talking about the charges and the media's role in it.</s>NELSON (voice-over): Imprisoned Los Alamos nuclear scientists Wen Ho Lee may soon be home with his family again, but his daughter, Alberta, says the ordeal that began with his arrest last December continues to tear their family apart.</s>ALBERTA LEE: The government and the media working so closely together really destroyed our lives and has ruined my father's reputation.</s>NELSON: Lee has been held without bail for the past eight months, accused of mishandling nuclear secrets and endangering national security. Although government officials admit they have no evidence that he passed any information to others, Alberta Lee says many news reports have falsely labeled her parents as spies.</s>LEE: Yes, they've taken trips to China, but they don't not that these trips are approved. Yes, all these things have happened, but they don't' give you the full story. And basically painted my parents as spies -- possibly spies for China, and launched this entire media frenzy.</s>NELSON: Under conditions proposed by U.S. District Court Judge James Parker, Lee's bond would be set at $1 million. He would be under house arrest, with any outside trips and visitors subject to federal approval. His daughter says she feels vindicated by the decision to set bail, which she believes will finally allow the truth to come out.</s>LEE: I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I couldn't believe what I was reading about my family. I couldn't believe this was, like, America, where they can basically conjure up a story and push it upon the public and convince people of certain things.
