Understandably, I offended some netters; I am sorry , but my posting was not meant to offend them. The allegiance question has been actually raised indirectly or obliquely by several people in the media, including the NY-Times. Contrary to the cases of several other spies caught spooking against their country for money or emotional/sexual motivations, the troubling issue in the case of this american jew caught spying for Israel, against the USA, was that he was doing it for IDEOLOGICAL motivations. How do you think we should react if we catch an american spy passing classified information to Moscow, and doing it NOT for money (in this country, dollar motivation is respected) or because he fell in love with a lovely KGB operative, but because he believes in the Communist ideology.?. I think that for political reasons, the fallout and the implications of this case have been diligently pushed under the rug by the american and israeli political establishments. I was surprised by the replies to my posting, who tried either to duck the issue, or to hide behind anti-anti-semitism/zionism rhetoric. HAPPY HOLIDAYS. CHEDLEY AOURIRI.
