NEW YORK – US Defense Department spokesman Mark Wright told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that security clearance could be denied to an applicant with relatives in any foreign country.
“If a security-clearance applicant has relatives or other close connections to people in any foreign country, this could potentially disqualify that person from being eligible for a security clearance,†he said.
But, he added, “The Federal Adjudicative Guidelines do not call for any special scrutiny for applicants with relatives in Israel.â€
Wright spoke on Thursday in response to the recent protest by Jewish organizations against the US Navy’s denial of security clearance for US Jews who have ties to Israel.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
If you have to say it...
Then the security clearance for POTUS needs to be pulled immediately - he has relatives in Kenya!
I bet it would if you told them you were a Bible believing Christian.
There have been several high level Israeli spies in recent memory...
Active Duty ping.
Jonathan Pollard is the U.S. intelligence analyst who was sentenced to life in prison in 1985 for passing classified documents to the Israeli government.
But they accept muslims
In fairness, Israel has had form for spying on the US and passing information on to China. It might be different if it was a more trusted ally like the UK, Australia or Canada, but Israel can’t really be trusted. I don’t blame them for that, they are trying to survive in a particularly hostile world, even the US at times, but even so, it wouldn’t make sense to expose US secrets to the likes of Israel.
Some guy named Hyman Rickover would never get anywhere.
Pollard may have been sentenced to life, but he was released last year.
And yet Huma Abedin, whose father was born in India - so she probably has relatives there - and her mother , brother , sister , and herself have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, gets a security clearance.
Why is Hasan breathing? Is it because
Hasan came with Obama and because
al Qaeda bombed the Pentagon and now runs the White Mosque?
Mohammed Hussein Obama doesn't need a security clearance because he is president, and I doubt he could ever get one.
The average job applicant in this country has to undergo a more vigorous background investigation than Obama has ever faced.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

That’s an outrage. Jews are not the US-hating terrorists we find in Israel. He’s being treated like Islam’s whipping boy.
