Why are the people of this country so willing to give up basic freedoms
to fight some over-blown threat? What happened to dying to protect
liberty and freedom? Why would any citizen of this country allow our
government to track every citizen, to listen in on their private
conversations, to put whomever they want on an arbitrary list that
stops their movements in the country with no way to fight it if they
are wrong, to manipulate the populace into fighting a war that had
nothing to do with it, and to be able to hold whomever they want in
detention centers where they can torture them and where they are not
allowed to defend themselves? All the while raking in the cash?<br>
<br>
It's like a guy in prison making a deal with the meanest SOB in the
prison to protect him from a cellmate that is rude to him.<br>

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."<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<h3>Defense contractor admits sending classified materials
overseas, will pay $100 million penalty</h3>
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.<br>
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.<br>
The conviction is the first involving a major defense contractor
violating the Arms Export Control Act, prosecutors said.<br>
Saying that <strong><font color="#0000ff">American soldiers are "the
principal victims of ITT's crimes</font></strong>," 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
