Granted it was for a nuclear power plant, and there does not appear to be terrorist connections, but this guy needs to be tried for treason. Who knows what the Iranians plan on doing with these codes? Who knows if it was simply to make a better nuclear power plant or to make it LOOK like they were trying to make a nuclear power plant.
According to court records, the software is used only for training plant employees, but allowed users access to details on the Palo Verde control rooms and the plant layout. In October, authorities alleged, the software was used to download training materials from Tehran, using a Palo Verde user identification.
Why else would anyone want access to this? Our nuclear plans, documents and designs are very sensitive information and the Iranian government, regardless of if they were involved with this or not, has been poking it's nose around our defenses and other areas and it's high time we started treating these breaches as the serious matters that they are.
No more terrorist cases that end up with a mere 5 year sentence. No more spies getting off secrets to foreign governments and using the defense of "it wasn't classified". You start putting people in jail for life or executing those convicted of treason, you'll see a significant drop in these cases, either because they'll be more careful, or they won't want to risk it.
