Thanks for the post.
From my previous readings, I had believed that Pollard’s disclosures of info were related only to info that he thought the US was withholding from Israel. In addition, I was not aware that the Israelis “re-marketed” that intelligence for their own purposes. I’ll have to read up more on this case.
If what you say is true (and I have no reason to doubt you), I can’t but help wonder why Pollard didn’t get life in prison - just like Ames and Hanssen? It sounds like he should have.
The traitorous little weasel Pollard also sold classified information to Pakistan and South Africa, and got caught when he tried to sell secrets to Australia. The Australian officer thought Pollard was so brazen that it must be some kind of a sting, so he ratted him out. To Pollard, Israel was nothing more than another buyer with cash.
Pollard was just a greedy piece of scum who took money from whoever would give it to him. If he had a connection to the Arabs and thought they’d give him more money, then he would have sold information to them. I read somewhere he may have had a cocaine habit to support.
