NEW YORK (AP) — A former U.S. Army mechanical engineer used his job at a military research center to fetch dozens of classified defense documents for an Israeli agent, prosecutors say.
The agent — who was at the center of another, infamous 1980s espionage scandal — provided Ben-ami Kadish with wish lists of secret records, according to prosecutors. Over six years, Kadish took home information about nuclear weapons, a modified version of an F-15 fighter jet and the U.S. Patriot missile air defense system, and he let the unidentified Israeli consulate worker photograph the documents in his basement, prosecutors say.
More than two decades later, the 84-year-old Kadish was charged Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan with four counts of conspiracy, including allegations that he disclosed U.S. national defense documents to Israel and acted as an agent of the Israeli government.

Why are we withholding anything from the Israelis?
Because they’re not a 51st state?
Death by boola-boola.
Ask Jonathan Pollard.
While being a true friend, Israel is not part of the U.S. and at times our interests are divergent.
Israel looks after its interests first also.
What the hell is our “friend Israel” still spying on us to begin with?
There is more than a couple of folks in jail for spying against us for Israel.
Do we spy on Israel?
because spying is spying, string him up
Israel sold the designs of the F-16-borrowed Lavi fighter-planes (when the F-16s were still relatively new and advanced); and almost sold Phalcons to China (deal was cancelled by stern threats from Washington).
Because they aren't American?
You even have to ask this question?
The best spies are the ones you never hear about.
;)
Yeah, he’ll probably get the death penalty for this.
But if anyone wants to slip the Chinese or Russians something... Well, there is a nice 18-bedroom mansion waiting for them in Tahiti.
When was the last time France or Germany spied on us? Or the South Koreans?
They do it every day. There are certain secrets we do not want to get into the hands of anyone friend or foe. Even the Brits are not privy to the deepest defense plans. That is why America cannot afford to have another Clinton or the leftist Obama in the Oval Office.
In the early 30s, the Hitler regime not only seized Jewish assests and businesses; but they seized identities. Much of those assets and identities were sold to spies/infiltrators. Many of those spies and infiltrators refugeed to other countries under the guise of fleeing jews.
Israel is just as infiltrated as the USA. Remember the story of Golan Cipel? He was from Rishon LeZion. Rishon LeZion is a known organized crime strong hold.
Good points canuck conservative.
Believe me, I am a big supporter of Israel.
I just fail to comprehend WHY Israel feels a need to spy on us.
Because they sell our stuff to the Chinese.
As was yesterday’s forum, I expect it to turn into a Union v. Confederate, Civil war yap-fest. (Sigh)
Tomorrows version will too.
