Dang. We're not just outsourcing jobs to India. We're exporting nuclear secrets.

A US company and the Indian head of an international firm have admitted to violating laws on export of weapons technology and nuclear power testing equipment to India, the US Justice Department said Thursday.

Decade-long US sanctions over illegal Indian nuclear tests prohibit US-based companies from exporting certain goods and services to India.

Parthasarathy Sudarshan, the Indian CEO of Cirrus Electronics with offices in the United States, Singapore and India, pleaded guilty in Washington Thursday to a charge of shipping restricted weapons technology to the Indian government.

He admitted exporting controlled microprocessors and electronic components to Indian state entities involved in developing ballistic missiles, space launch vehicles and fighter jets.

Among the recipients were the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), an enterprise within the Indian Department of Space; and Bharat Dynamics, Ltd. (BDL), an Indian Defense Ministry enterprise.

2. Yeah, George-and-the Beanstalk Bush traded nuclear secrets for f'ing mangoes.

And he said "the US is looking forward to eating Indian mangoes", under an agreement to expand trade in farm products.

5. You Make a Valid Argument...

I agree and you don't sound racist in the least. This is a sensitive National Security Issue.

7. How else are they going to give the Muslim state, Pakistan, a MIRV capability?>...

...so, that when a fundamentalist, like Khomeini, takes over they can nuke us, causing a neo-9-11 of epic proportions? :nuke:

BTW, MIRV stands for a Multi Independent Reentry Vehicle for delivering nuclear weapons.

the tips of their noses.

10. my mistake in the previous comment...

It makes more sense to allow the technology to go to Iran through a scape-goat in the puppet government of India. They need another 9/11 type attack now to further destroy our Constitution and create a perpetual state of war.
