Did he sneak the documents out in his boxers like Sandy Bergler?

This is very disappointing to have an ally attempting to spy against our country, or at least attempting to buy or receive information. In recent years, there have been several cases that have worried us, such as Israel attempting to sell UAVs and helping build J-10 fighter to China, and incident which intelligence on Iran may have leaked. I hope these activities against American interest by Israel will be halted, or it will be a critical issue that will damage the friendship between Israel and US. Meanwhile, Israel could politely ask for intelligence if needed. If Israel is not happy with America, Israel may always cut ties with America and enhance relations with others.

geez, sounds like he went around giving out classifed secrets like candy...

Looks like he may have meant no harm, but still... you can't play around with that sort of stuff.

I don't like the idea of DOD employees meeting with foreign lobbyists regardless of if their our allies or not.

I don't believe it. Israel worked with higher ups in the CIA to set him up as part of a house cleaning of Clintonites.

At the same time, we accuse Israel, the Arab world gets a bit closer to us and nothing changes.

Not surprising actually. There are plenty of liberals in the intelligence/spy arena ready at the switch to undermine President Bush and America at a moments notice.

No, the article says he is accused of passing along information, but no documents.

So why isn't Sandy Burglar having to surrender to the FBI for stealing and destroying documents?

He's charged; not convicted. And In re passing secrets (verbally) to Israeli's: which Israelis? Those Israelis who are pro-Palestine? I wish I knew more, in this matter. Will watch to see what other facts emerge. Iran doesn't like Israel anymore than it likes America.

Freepers will be "delighted" to hear Justin Raimundo (?) at antiwar.com is all over this story,shouting: "I told you so !"

Those folks believe the Iraqi conflict was a Zionist plot-
(for world domination,of course),and half of them claim 9/11 was an Israeli covert operation.

Lovely folks !
