He was convicted as a spy... and sentenced to 15 years...

Show me a staff that consistently delivers products on time and one of the following will always be true:

1) One or more of your highest performers works extensive amounts of overtime (and is likely to burnout)
2) Project times are consistently overestimated.

It's a variation of the George Carlin Principle... People will adapt to fill the space, one way or the other.

I really did.

You said "If you allowed people to be executed without trial..."

I just pointed out that there was a trial.

The issue of execution or life sentences is a different one.

I did use my brains. Read the original article.

There was a trial. He was convicted of spying and sentenced to 15 years.

"New war" with China? Pull your head out of the sand... we've been at war for quite awhile.

He had a trial and was found guilty. Then sentenced to 15 years... instead of the death penalty.

So you think that the act itself doesn't deserve the punishment, that it is the severity of the damage done?

By that thinking, you support driving drunk unless (until) you actually kill somebody?

Fry the bastard.

If they even bothered with a trial... A US spy, if that clearcut, would just disappear, so no press coverage.

Instead, we imprison with cable TV and free health care. I hear our prisons are lavish compared to the standard of a normal Chinese citizen. Might not be up to the $3M lifestyle "on the outside", but still better than his ancestors.

Except that we've saved them billions by letting them learn from OUR mistakes...

Send him to Gitmo, then death penalty. No New York trials. He's a spy, stealing information that can be used against us. When are we going to acknowledge that we are at (cyber) war with China, have been for years, and start acting accordingly?

Men are running the program - we just want to go home! We're from Mars, ya know?

And now, thanks to the ISS, we'll have both topping for our pizza and athlete's foot when we get there.

The US will be able to outsource space exploration overseas!!! Oh goody.

If the scarring was permanent and inoperable, what's the point? Are we going to lock him up and pay for his care until somebody can fix it? Why bother? The evidence supports that he is irrepairably broken.

We destroy mad dogs.
