Erik Kyriacou pleads guilty in Iran embargo violation
Erik Holm | February 8
Newsday - A part-time cameraman who worked for NBC found out the hard way that "Akbar," the international broker he had met on eBay, wasn't really looking to ship stolen night-vision lenses to Iran.
Instead, the broker was a federal customs agent, and the cameraman, Erik Kyriacou, 24, of North Babylon, found himself in a Philadelphia courtroom Monday pleading guilty to four federal counts, including trying to export technology to an "axis of evil" country.
Oh, big deal. Get rid of this meaningless story, Dick Cheney wore the wrong coat to a memorial service, now THAT's important news, not selling equipment to a terrorist state.
