If he is guilty, then treason seems the appropriate charge. I do not think that any of the technology (that we know about) that he has given to China can really help them significantly, but still. I am always suspicious of people that are found guilty, is it possible they are guilty of things we never found out about too... What are the chances we found a 100% of the bad things he did? I think we should create a few moles that give away pigeon headed things that will never work or that will become a pain in the chops for the person receiving them... Like we should covertly give away the floating tank from WW2 that sank like a brick... or give them the source code for cyrsis and tell them its the ai for our new 'war games'...
"There have been a few instructors in boring required 101 classes that have allowed its use as one of the required sources. Why wouldn't I take advantage of that for a useless class where I'm just going through the motions to get my A?"
Well if thats the case why don't you edit the wikipedia article right before you write the paper and quote yourself?;) Wikipedia used in research is just plain wrong, however for entertainment or general 'conceptual' knowledge building it can help, but don't rely on it for anything. Like the IT professor said would you want a student that did their research using Wikipedia doing your brain surgery, or the person that went through medical school using peer reviewed journals?
I get your point, that you don't care what you do as long as you get the A, but that scares me that society doesn't care. Perhaps people will just continue to make up resources and right their papers on resources they made up? If you can't cite something because it disappears doesn't help either.
