Arthur Walker, who has died in prison aged 79, was the oldest member of America’s notorious “family of spies” — three members of a naval clan who were discovered, in the mid-Eighties, to be handing classified information to the KGB.
The trio passed on a huge number of US secrets to the Soviet Union and were described as “the most damaging espionage ring uncovered in the United States in three decades”.

I'll agree with you that this guy doesn't deserve an RIP.

John Walker, Arthur's brother and fellow traitor (see, I know what that word means) died Thursday in prison at age 77.

John Walker spied for the USSR from 1967 to 1976. When he retired from the Navy, he recruited his brother Arthur and his son Michael to spy in his place.
Michael Walker spent 15 years in prison and was released in 2000. He's probably worried right now.

He doesn't deserve an RIP either.

Wow. Did he pass on the blueprints for the NSA's time travel machine or just had access to use it? We can only hope that technology stays a secret in our hands.

Oops! OK, I fixed it.

So that technology doesn't exist? Darn.
