[edit] August 2007
Anyone know of anything on his trial? Saw the B2 on Futureweapons(Military Channel) and happen to see this guy. 68.47.63.154 03:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] re. Germany and Switzerland
a) Germany is a very close ally of the USA and if any German official would have been offered top secret US material, Germany immediately would have informed the FBI. Maybe he offered data to some individuals from Germany, but surely not to the German state. b) Switzerland doesn't have a aerospace industry that would be interested in the B2 engine's, therefore I removed that country too. c) I also doubt that Gowadia has offered data to Israel - one of the closest US-allies, they would have turned him in too. He wouldn't be that stupid. I guess he really sold data to China and offered it to Iran and India, but he surely has not offered this data to official from nations so closely allied with the USA. --noclador 15:35, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- This article should report what he's been accused of, not what we personally think he's guilty of, so I'm adding those back in, with more citations. You're correct though that he's accused only of sending information to individuals in Germany, Switzerland, and Israel, not to selling it to those countries' governments. --Delirium (talk) 06:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Legal contradiction?
It is law in the USA that court trial must be within one year or the case cannot be pursued by the authorities. This is law to protect citizens against state and governement oppression via politically motivated lenghty legal action.
How come he has been under arrest for almost 3 years? Things like that are only seen in continental Europe, where law is based on the ancient Roman principles and the french code Bonaparte Napoleon created out of it. Sometimes they hold people for up to 5 years without verdict. I think american law is based on the ancient anglo-saxon tribal customs, which is a totally different venue. 91.83.18.103 (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I think it is called "right to speedy trial" and found in the constitution or maybe the Declaration of Independence? Why is he not invoking his right to a speedy trial in front of a grand jury? Doesn't he get support from ethnic hindustani rights groups based on alleged federal government racial profiling? Lot of question and few answers in the article! 91.83.18.103 (talk) 20:47, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- If you're curious, I'd suggest you do a bit of digging. You're right in that his defense can invoke that right and demand the trial speed up, but most likely they're just as busy gathering data as the prosecution is. My hunch is that it's a tactical decision by his team in order to get him the best chance of a defense. --KNHaw (talk) 22:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
