26. What happens when "for profit reasons" threaten national security?
Edited on Wed Jul-13-11 03:42 PM by Uncle Joe
Using distorted propaganda and forcing extorted policy to undermine critically needed legislation ie; global warming policy, working against holding destructive corporate malfeasance to account for the purpose of benefiting a select ideology etc. etc. which in turn either threatens society or serves to disenfranchise or alienate the people from their government?

In a day when mega-corporations can bounce from nation to nation, I'm not of the mind that "for profit reasons" should be a blanket exemption from the charge of traditional espionage of putting governments at risk.

I see no reason as to why they couldn't potentially be prosecuted of both espionage and industrial espionage, depending of course on the outcome of the investigation(s).
