I hope at least he was paid in part by the services of a top dollar escort instead of something boring like money.
Canadian naval intelligence officer charged with leaking secrets to the enemy
- Thread starter fuji
- Start date
General Erik Shinseki was both the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army and also a graduate of the USMA.
On the matter of Bradley E. Manning. He was convicted of passing along classified info on the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) of the U.S. Army. These protocols can be changed very quickly. Manning was caught passing along classified info, but the damage was mitigated as soon as it was discovered. Manning will probably get life in prison. Heavy sentences must be imposed as a deterrent to treasonous acts. I am guessing this will also be the case with the RCN Sub-Lieutenant.
It's WAY too early to judge. All of the following are possible based on what little we know:
-- He was blowing the whistle on unethical practices by the Canadian military, by passing information to a foreign journalist
-- He was trying to "document" what really happens by passing information to a foreign journalist (e.g., wikileaks)
-- He handed over Canadian military secrets to a foreign intelligence service in exchange for cash
-- He was collaborating with a terrorist organization, e.g., passing valuable information on to the Taliban
We really need the facts before we can judge whether what he did was treasonous or whether the police are going overboard.

If true the first might result in acquittal, the other three - I'm on the Crown's side.
From the charges laid, I doubt in the extreme that it is the first of your choices.
My favorite part of the article:
“When it comes to signals intelligence, the league of English-speaking people are joined at the hip … you’d have a hard bargain trying to sell Canadian secrets, wouldn’t you?” said John Pike, director of the GlobalSecurity.Org website, in an interview. “He’s going to have had access to whatever the Americans have access to.”
LOL
OTB

No surprise there. That school is consistently found at the bottom of Canadian school rankings.

Shinseki is of Japanese descent not Chinese...
You don't believe that ethnic Japanese in Canada and the U.S. count in your words as a "cerebrally superior ethnic group?"
well who else are they going to 'employ'? there are no inferior groups of people there to take advantage of.
Sub-Lieutenant Jeffrey Paul Delisle plead guilty this morning in provincial court in Halifax to breach of trust and two charges of passing information to a foreign entity that could harm Canada's interests.

Update:
The CBC is reporting that he was providing information to the Russian GRU (military intelligence service).
Interesting as well that it was his Russian handlers bad spycraft that first aroused suspicion about him.

From what the CBC reports he was privy to intelligence from Canada, Australia, the U.K. and the U.S.A. and was loading vast quantities of information onto thumb drives.
An appalling betrayal of trust.
