<<I suggest to you that all of the above mitigating factors apply in this case, and that the "damage" caused by Loral or Hughes (related to unclassified but licensable "technical assistance") is nothing compared to the massive leaks of secret materials from USG nuclear weapons labs. >>

While I understand your point of view, it is akin to saying Ken Star's $40 million expense is nothing compared to the cost of missiles that hit the pill factory. The two events really should have nothing to do with eachother.

If Loral's intent was to avert legal process, it should be subject to criminal prosecution. Just as it was in Operation Ill Wind.

To early to tell for certain yet, but I suspect you are correct on the order of magnitude of damage vs the leaks at the labs. However, any advantage given to the Chinese for the sake of $$$$ is inexcusable whether or not others may also have done it. The point is our corporate citizens should not be selling the rope to Chinese from which a noose may be fashioned. JLA
