Boeing Charged For Allegedly Giving Military Secrets to China

over military secrets to the Chinese government, the Justice
Department said.Additionally, two immigrants from China and Taiwan
accused of working with the defense analyst were arrested after an
FBI raid Monday morning on a New Orleans home where one of them
lived. The two cases _ based in Alexandria, Va., and Los Angeles
_ have no connection, and investigators said it was merely a
coincidence that charges would be brought against both on the same
day.The arrests mark China's latest attempts to gain top secret
information about U.S. military systems and sales, said Assistant

"particularly adept, and particularly determined and methodical in
their espionage efforts.""The threat is very simple," Wainstein
said at a Justice Department news conference in Washington. "It's

geez, Larry, why accuse Boeing? Boeing management has done enough stupid
things, but to have the subject line claim Boeing gave away secrets is
inappropriate.

I'm still trying to figure out how this is appropriate at all in a piloting

So you have information that exonerates Boeing?

Your amended subject line fails to use the plural; it should be
Engineers not Engineer.

On second thought, I retract the above. You are correct.

Boeing wasn't charged. Hence your title was wrong.

It isn't appropriate for the piloting group- it's just another one of
Larry's doom and gloom posts about the sky is falling and other impending
disasters, whether real or imagined.

So I guess we I would have to ask if you have any information that shows
Boeing was aware of the act?

You are correct (it's not on-topic). I should have just ignored it.
