[Vision2020] Why is this not treason?

[Tom Hansen]

Let me see if I have this right.

 

One of Clinton's chief aids inadvertently walks out of the Library of
Congress with a photocopy of a recently declassified document (last year or
so) and people want him brought up on criminal charges.

 

One of our government's primary contractors admits to sending highly
classified documents overseas is penalized $100 million, half of which will
be re-compensated back to the contractor through an arrangement made by one
of the non-fired US Attorneys in agreement on yet another contract.

 

Is that right?

Because . . . I don't know . . . we've re-defined "treason" as "not doing
what Cheney and Bush, et al, say we should do to support the troops"?  And
"asking hard questions of the incompetents in office," as well as "buying
Dixie Chicks CDs."

This is certainly an outrage, very likely treasonous, and won't be
prosecuted as such because it's business, and business is the elixir of the
right.

Why are not the acts described below treason?  Why have not the responsible
parties been tried for treason?  Instead the company has been reward with a
new contract with $50 of the $100 million applied in payment of that
contract.

 

Perhaps all you V 2020 clear-headed Bush Administration Apologist can
explain?

Defense contractor admits sending classified materials overseas, will pay
$100 million penalty


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The leading manufacturer of night vision gear for the
Defense Department has admitted sending classified materials overseas and
will pay a $100 million penalty, according to federal prosecutors, who say
the actions of ITT Corp. have jeopardized the security of U.S. soldiers.
ITT, based in Roanoke, Va., exported classified or sensitive technical data
to China, Singapore and Britain without having obtained authorization from
the United States, prosecutors said.
The conviction is the first involving a major defense contractor violating
the Arms Export Control Act, prosecutors said.
Saying that American soldiers are "the principal victims of ITT's crimes,"
U.S. Attorney John Brownlee said he has structured the $100 million penalty
so that half of the money is spent by ITT to develop a next-generation night
vision system and "ensure that our soldiers have the best night vision
equipment in the world." --From CNN Producer Mike M. Ahlers (Posted 12:36
