Awan is only a small fry compared to certain others who have greater guilt, in the sense that the Rosenbergs were small fry compared to Stalin.
Back then, we still electrocuted the small fry.
Awan, however, has the additional prestige of having ripped off the US government – i.e., you and me – for millions of dollars. That is just the amazing executive salaries he and his family have been drawing for doing no work (except for stealing secrets).
They also had mega illegal money-making businesses.
I don't know how rich all of you are, but I am not rich at all. In fact I have struggled the past 10 years.
The Awans have been fucking rolling in free money.
Hard to imagine any of them getting a deal.
