It could be Israel, which would explain why the Navy took the death penalty off the table.
I'm as big a supporter of Israel as is possible, but when they get caught getting Americans to spy for them (ala Pollard) it infuriates me - we're a country based not on any ethnic, tribal or religous affiliation, but we do, rightly, demand loyalty of those we place in offices of profit or trust and suborning that loyalty is not to be taken lightly. I don't much care who this clown was spying for, but if convicted he should rot in prison and die there - just as should Pollard.
