昨日のThe Timesの記事から。
the Storm Shadow cruise missiles情報をロシアに売り渡そうとして
懲役10年のムショ行きになった、BAE社員の話。
軍事情報の話が好きな人のためにupしておきましょう。
いつかリストラされると覚悟して貴重な情報を家に保管していたらしい。
12万5000ポンドで売りたいと申し出たらしい。
12万5000ポンドじゃ家も買えないね。
(約2400万円）
トマホークも一発このくらいの値段かな。
ロンドンの家の相場
1989年=100とすると (当時イギリスに不動産もバブっていた）
2003年=250ぐらいでしょう。
平均価格=今は普通の家で35万ポンドぐらいでしょう。
逮捕される前にいっぱい飲ませてもらったから幸せか。
このミサイル技術、イラク戦争で活躍しているらしいですね。
どんな技術のかハイテクのエキスパートの解説を期待したいとこです。
＊＊＊＊
米軍事戦略とbudget allocation問題。。NATO軍事予算と主導権の問題。
ロッキードのBAEへの接近。。目が離せないですね。
NATOの事務総長のあのタコの口をくっつけたロバートソンの次ぎの人事も。。
こういう兵器メーカーの動向から大元の戦略を読んでいくのもまた役に
立つでしょう。
そしてミサイル等ソフトウエア会社の動向。
英国は急いで法律を改正しようとしています。
ミサイル開発が開発して売り渡したあと、ミサイルがどこに飛んでいっているのか
まったく知らない。
ミサイル発射の現場の戦闘員は10年ぶりのミサイル作戦でどうやって発射して
いいのかわからない。ベテランはもう引退してテレビの解説で忙しい。
法律で武器メーカーと戦闘員の会話、コミュニケーションは秘密厳守も
あって基本禁止されているようです。
これをもっとメーカー本社。。戦闘現場の兵士。の情報をもっと密に。。
と法律を柔軟に運行しようとほぼ決めたようですね。
僕がミサイル技術者なら、飛ばしてミサイルが自分のとこに戻ってくるようなのを
つくってみたいですね。 ブーメランミサイル。。誰かもどこかで書いてたね。
無論ブッシュに買ってもらいたい。 トニーにも。

Ten years' jail for inept spy who tried to sell secrets to Russia
By Laura Peek
A DEFENCE worker who tried to sell secrets that could have damaged the ability of Britain’s forces to fight the war
in Iraq has been jailed for ten years.
Ian Parr, 46, hoped to be paid £130,000 by the Russians for information on seven military projects including classified
details of the Storm Shadow cruise missiles being used by the RAF in the Gulf.
Other documents that he stole and tried to sell contained details of a navigation system for Tornado GR4 jets, a
radio-jammer, thermal-imaging binoculars and an acoustic weapons-location system.
Parr, a former soldier who was nicknamed Hazard by army colleagues because he was so accident-prone, was so
inept that his attempts to contact Russian secret agents were intercepted and he was arrested after an MI5 sting
operation. He pleaded guilty last year to two charges of obtaining and communicating secret information under the
Official Secrets Act and seven counts of theft and he was sentenced at the Old Bailey to ten years in prison.
Aftab Jafferjee, QC, for the prosecution, said the current climate graphically illustrated the need to prevent such
security breaches. The Storm Shadow weapons were going into production at the time and are now being used in
Iraq.
None of the details of Storm Shadow and six sensitive projects worth many millions of pounds, fell into enemy hands
but Mr Jafferjee said: “The Storm Shadow documents demonstrate the damaging consequences of compromising such
classified information to the operational effectiveness of British Forces currently engaged in Iraq.”
Judge Michael Hyam, the Recorder of London, dismissed Parr’s claims that he knew Aleksei, his contact, was a
British agent and that he handed over the documents only to play along. The judge said that a long sentence was
required to reflect “public abhorrence” to acts that betrayed the safety and interests of the State and to act as a
deterrent. He told Parr, a test co-ordinator at BAE Systems: “You knew perfectly well the nature of what you were
doing and thought in fact that the material you took was all subject to the Official Secrets Act. I do not and cannot
accept that you were so naive that you did not appreciate that what you were doing was a risk to national security.”
Parr, who kept the documents behind the summer house of his home in Rochford, Essex, had been with BAE for 15
years and, fearing he was about to lose his job, posted them to the Russian Embassy. It was an “act of madness”
fuelled by “anger and frustration”, Rock Tansey, QC, for the defence, told the court.
The defendant was contacted by an “agent”, an undercover officer acting on a tip-off, and arranged an elaborate
rendezvous in London. He instructed the man, codenamed Aleksei, to go to a telephone box outside Holborn Tube
station and call him from there. The officer was then told to go to Temple station where he met Parr, who introduced
himself as “Piglet”. The pair went by taxi to a hotel near Tower Bridge, where Parr offered to sell secrets for
£130,000.
The men met again in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, on March 22 last year, where Parr handed over a plastic bag full of
secret papers at a pub. Parr was paid £25,000, but as he settled down to a celebratory pint of lager, detectives
arrested him.
