| Feds want to lengthen spy's neck |
| 2002-04-21 |
| Government lawyers told a federal judge Friday they intend to seek the death penalty against a retired Air Force master sergeant accused of trying to spy for Iraq, Libya and China. The government accused Brian Patrick Regan, 39, of creating a "grave risk of death" to U.S. military pilots patrolling the no-fly zone over Iraq. Regan allegedly intended to sell Iraqi president Saddam Hussein secret details about American satellites that could help Iraq hide its anti-aircraft missiles. Regan has pleaded innocent to the charges in federal court. His lawyer, Nina J. Ginsberg, could not be reached Friday despite several messages left at her office. With a client like this, Madame Lawyer is probably thinking of becoming an alcoholic. |
