WHO IS BEHIND THIS COVER UP?

This month a naval petty officer was sentenced to
12 years in the can for among other things espio-
nage. Pretty light considering desertion, larceny
and destruction of government property were part
of his guilty plea. Seems Ariel Weinmann admitt-
ed he stole classified info & "passed" it to an "un-
disclosed" country.

In Federal District Court when one pleads guilty
to a charge one must give some detail of his/her
crime & the participation there-in. If other per-
sons are involved or there is an on going invest-
igation they will be handeled quite gingerly.

This case was evidently heard at a naval station
with a military judge involved. Questions abound.

1- Is this prosecution the normal modus operandi
for a military judge to hear a case at a naval stat-
ion that involves espionage & 3 other felonies?
2- It's easy to knowingly understand avoiding in-
dividuals (on going investigation, etc.), but it is
hard to comprehend a non disclosure ruling ag-
ainst an inanimate entity that has no bearing on
the crimes, namely a country.
3- If it was Syria or Iran wouldn't it be a public
relations coup for a very weak administration to
report that to their faithful?
4- If it was "state within a state" (Hamas or Hez-
bollah) wouldn't that tip us off to the nefarious
intents of those organizations?
5- Suppose our friends Russia, Egypt or India
had been the receivers would that call for an
agonizing reappraisal or at least cause many
headlines.
6- Who made the decision to accept Weimann's
guilty plea at a naval station. Why was it made?
Why cover this up? After all we did foil a traitor
& got a sentence of 12 boffos. Damn good work.
7- This Administration has lost the confidence
of its people. Wouldn't this have been a glori-
ous start of a new page?
8- Did the country that was not disclosed know
the material was classified by our government?
Did it turn Weimann over to the law?

If this is the way military courts & judges operate
by keeping the American people deep in the dark
someone should tell them it is not the hallmark of
an informed citizenry of our Republic.
