Ok Peter, I agree, no politics here. But one last thing if I may. Can you
honestly say that Hassan Rouhani *hasn't* declared war on anybody? That would
be contrary to his entire narrative and philosophy. Just say'n.
As far as I can tell, 22 CFR 120-130 says PROPEP source code is still export
controlled unless State specifically says it isn’t. That's the way the ITAR is
written. One big catch all. Unless State specifically says something is exempt,
then it's not and if you try to fight them on that point, you'll lose. Mr. Lee
is a good example. Most ITAR staffers I've met don't even know or understand
the ITAR, particularly how it's set up to work with Canada and the exemptions
as well as the procedure. They been trained to just say no to everything and
you'll never get into trouble. The whole thing is a joke and has more to do
with protectionism than security in the vast majority of cases. The biggest
proponents of the ITAR during its inception were the trade unions next to
State, not the military. The latter has much more effective methods of
regulation and technology control. When the ITAR was finally deployed, it
looked nothing like what the original authors intended.
There's a copy of it at the front desk in my lobby and one in my briefcase. You
can pull it out a prove an ITAR, Norman Knowitall wrong right to his face with
it and he'll still say no.
You got me started. 😊
