Sounds like a Homer Simpson excuse. So he moved back to Iran but they were wtill working on their anchor baby? I hope his wife was refused entry to the country. Yeah, right.
I bet it ain't no more.........
Hey Guys! Come on! When I stole that classified nuclear plant software and took it to Iran...
I was just goofing around...lighten up dude...
A nuclear detonation is a real attention getter for show and tell.
Yeah, I’m sure his ‘family’ would understand the technology enough to even BE impressed...
I don’t know that’s crazy.
We probably gave him the education in the first place. People from certain countries and/or islamic background shouldn’t be trained in sensitive technologies or be allowed to work around sensitive technologies.
And why is the penalty for giving nuclear information to Iran only a few months? Why isn’t he charged with treason?
‘Cuz he is a degreed engineer and was capable of handling the job. I can guarantee there are hundreds of Mohammeds working in this industry, both at the plants and for the various vendors and contract engineering firms.
Our government is working overtime to attract immigrants from enemy nations and provide them with citizenship. The bodies of our soldiers were dragged through the streets in Somali. What did we do? We started to import Somalis to this country.
What wonderful security nuke plants have. The hire Iranians and Chinese nationals and we get stressed when they leak the information to their home countries. From what I am seeing, we have better security at Wal-mart than we have at Palo Verde.
I do that all the time. I take nuclear secrets around to show off to my friends and family.
I thought everyone did??
GAHHHHHHHHHH! We need a constitutional amendment to replace the 14th that makes it crystal clear that you can't just jump the border and spit out a kid and have it be a citizen. My head is about to explode.
Although a case could be made to prohibit foreign nationals from countries avowed to pursue America's destruction (e.g., Iran) from working in sensitive industries - that apparently is not the law. And although a case could be made to disqualify islamics from First Amendment rights since their religion codifies violence against those that don't believe in islam -- that also is not the law (yet)...
From what I read this gentleman took some unclassified software 'home' that his company encouraged their employees to take 'home'.
I don't see the crime.
So he left the plant and moved to Iran to be closer to relatives. But he also has a busines assosciate in Iran he wanted to impress and he then took a new job in Iran. But despite having a new job in Iran he downloded information in Iran from the U.S. nuclear plant job he was leaving. But he returned to the U.S. just so his baby could be born here. Guess the downloaded infom did not hurt his chances at the new job in Iran. The U.S. born kid can spy easier in the future.
Discrimination be d*mned, will someone give me one other plausible reason why we have anyone with the name Mohammad from Iran working in one of our nuke plants????
Well, I don't recall ever hearing anyone mention that kind of thing back in 1991. Do you?
Back in 1991, if you would have said anything negative about Mohammed or about the religion professed by Mohammed, you would have been roundly accused of being a Christian bigot (because they would be the only ones ever saying anything negative about Islam, as a religion, at the time). Would anyone have listened to an "religious bigot" saying something negative or bad about Islam as a religion? Nope, they never would have.
Even now, if I were to tell people the truth about Islam and all the other false religions out there (all of the others) -- that they are all false religions and are not to be followed and that the only one and truth faith is trust in Jesus Christ to the exclusion of every other religion that exists in the world -- I'll have people coming on here calling me a religious bigot, right now, today. And we knew that, as Christians, back in 1991 and were saying that, then, about Islam, too.
And besides from the religious aspect, what would you have ever heard about Islamic terrorism attacking the United States? You wouldn't have. You might have heard something about those crazies in other parts of the world, who have a beef with Israel, but you would have been told that it's their problem and not ours. So, there you are again. Where would you have been -- if you had said something about "Mohammed"? You would have been absolutle nowhere.
So, it's very disingenuous to say that something should have been done back in 1991.
And, after having a long career of 16 years, why would anyone say anything about it now? I mean, no one would have. He would have an established track record to review. In fact, there is nothing in his track record to show a problem, or that would have been an issue from the start of this investigation. Even the FBI doesn't think this is a big deal. I don't think this is a big deal. And the courts most likely won't think it's a big deal, because the most that will ever happen is that he gets about 24 months, maybe half or more suspended, and then he goes back home again.
There's absolutely nothing here, other than the thousands of minor things that people get in trouble for all over the coutnry all the time, and from its own natural citizens. It's not anything bigger than what you already see from people here (even they are worse than this, as we have drug dealers and killings and house-break-ins and so on...).
