I Spy With My Little Eye

Google has this list of links up on the latest spy scandal to rock Canberra. It is alleged that one of our esteemed Defence people was involved with the man selling US B2 Bomber secrets to foreign powers.

I grabbed this snippet from the Australian:

Defence Materiel Organisation officer Arthur Lazarou, a retired Royal Australian Navy lieutenant-commander, is the subject of an internal Defence investigation over his links to US engineer Noshir Gowadia, who was charged last month with disclosing military secrets – which could be “used to cause injury” to the US – to representatives of eight foreign governments and corporations.

and

Company records show Mr Gowadia and Mr Lazarou are listed as joint directors and shareholders in the Canberra-based company, NTech Australia Pty Ltd.

Will we actually prosecute a(n alleged) spy this time or will he get off again? Then again as I read the entire article, he may have just been a patsy as Mr Gowadia laundered money through the company. We’ll see.

So where can I buy some plans if I want to build my own B2: are they on eBay yet? I’ve got noisy neighbours, so I’m looking at options on how to shut them up.
