Space Shuttle Spy Gets 15 Years

goG writes "A Chinese-born engineer was sentenced Monday to more than 15 years in prison for hoarding sensitive information about the US space shuttle with the intent of giving it to China. US District Judge Cormac Carney called Chung's crimes a matter of national security, saying he had committed a breach against the trust Boeing and the country had placed in him. Attorney Greg Staples said, 'The [People's Republic of China] is bent on stealing sensitive information from the United States and shows no sign of relenting. Only strong sentences offer any hope of dissuading others from helping the PRC get that technology.' Staples also 'noted in sentencing papers that Chung amassed a personal wealth of more than $3 million US while betraying his adopted country.'"

A) google whines it was chinese govt , later we find out theres no proof of that
B) we get ironically tha new york times ( think hollywood) go on about a hacker for hire
C) then a shut down of a large hacker site( you think hackers were framed? by a paid hollywood shill I DO )
D) we get this affair and the guy was nothing more then a pack rat. HE should have known better however thats his crime.
they even say he never gave any sensitive data out. SEEMS to me like pick on chinese month.
E) we continue to have ACA undemocratically tabled and moving forward IN SECRET.
F) ACTA will make all democracies non democracies and make them more like china.
is this coincidence?
G) seems that BS corporations said about changing china by investing into them was a nice lie wasn't it.
