Iran Acknowledges Espionage At Nuclear Facilities
wiredmikey writes "Iran acknowledged Saturday that some personnel at the country's nuclear facilities were lured by promises of money to pass secrets to the West but insisted increased security and worker privileges have put a stop to the spying. The stunning admission by Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi provides the clearest government confirmation that Iran has been fighting espionage at its nuclear facilities."
Iran never tried to deny that they were building nuclear facilities, they just claim that its for nuclear energy and not weapons.
The secret to a good pie crust is 1/4 cup of vodka in place of some of the water. Of course, it burns off in the oven, so if you have an alcoholic at turkey dinner this year, you really don't have to tell them.

Doing something for money doesn't mean you are doing it out of greed. Debt(and often times not even your own debt) drives people to do things they would never ever have considered otherwise. Just look at Van Tuong Nguyen. The guy smuggled drugs through Singapore to help repay his BROTHERS debt even though he knew he was risking serious penalties if caught. Well he did get caught and it ended up costing him his life.
Thats why the number one cause of people getting denied/losing their security clearance in the US is debt(the second being criminal history). It's just too easy to gain leverage over that person.

... was the details of the PLC applications being targeted by the Stuxnet worm. Hmmmm.
The same reason it's illegal to pass secrets about U.S. reactors to Russia and other countries...because it could be used for sabotage.
