A Little Nuclear Spying Between "Friends"
Either this will be another Wen Ho Lee case or the Israeli government has a big embarrassment on its hands a la Jonathan Pollard.
As Reuters reports, "U.S. authorities arrested an American engineer on Tuesday on suspicion of giving secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and air defense missiles to Israel during the 1980s, the Justice Department said.
"Ben-Ami Kadish, 84, acknowledged his spying in FBI interviews and said he acted out of a belief that he was helping Israel, court papers said.
"He was accused of reporting to an Israeli government handler who also dealt with Jonathan Jay Pollard, an American citizen serving a life term on a 1985 charge of spying for Israel.
"Kadish's arrest is a sign the Pollard scandal, which remains an irritant in the close U.S. alliance with Israel, may have spread wider than was previously acknowledged. Kadish was arrested in New Jersey and was scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon at U.S. District Court in New York City, authorities said.
"His spying lasted roughly from 1979 to 1985, and his contact with the unnamed Israeli handler continued until March of this year, the federal complaint against him said."
What's a little spying between friends, especially concerning nuclear weapons?
After Hillary's statement about obliterating Iran should they attack Israel with nuclear weapons, what does she think of this incident?
Does Hillary know that Iran has signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and Israel has not nor has it acknowledged possession of nuclear weapons. Where is her statement about that?
