US Man Could Face Death Penalty for Selling Secrets to China
Noshir Gowadia of Hawaii recently pleaded not guilty to charges that he sold military secrets to China. He is accused of selling technology to help the Chinese created a stealth cruise missile. Gowadia potentially faces the death penalty if any American agents were killed as a result of the technology. Gowadia's son said that his dad insists he only discussed "basic, theoretical research information." Not sure what exactly that means, but apparently his definition of espionage differs from the US governments' and we all know whose definition will win out there. The full story can be found here.
