Another Pollard Wanna Be !!

I think you have known that FBI has arrested an American NASA scientist on charges of attempting to pass classified information to a foreign country. This foreign country is Israel and the scientist was going to sell his country’s secrets to it if it did not turn out that Israeli agent who contacted him a FBI Agent.
The NASA scientist is 52 years old Stewart David Nozette .Ironically Nozette was among those who were credited discovering Water on the moon , unfortunately now his name for real entered the history. “You will find here in NASA some links related to his work”. Nozette has a very interesting career history , he worked at the following places:

• US department of energy
• US department of defense
• NASA
• White House National space council.
• Alliance for Competitive Technology

During his work at Alliance for Competitive Technology He had R&D research contracts with the following :

• U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
• Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in Arlington, Virginia
• National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland

From 1998 to 2008,  Nozette was a technical adviser for  Israel Aerospace Industries company that was wholly owned by the Israeli government and he was paid about $225,000 over that period.
Nozette held a special security clearance equivalent to the Defense Department's top secret and "critical nuclear weapon design information" clearances. DOE clearances apply to access to information specifically relating to atomic or nuclear-related materials.



This is not the first time the FBI arrests a Spy working for the Mossad , we all remember Jonathan Pollard and remember how Israel and the Jewish lobby are tying to get a pardon for him despite he spied on his own country and sold its secrets.
This time Israel is not accused but I believe the announcement of the case in this particular time has a particular political message. Of course he is accused by an attempted espionage and for the record CI center published info implying that he may have gave the Israelis information in last January.
Some will be amazed and wonder why Israel would spy on its biggest ally and its biggest donor and I will say to you this is Politics my dear , these highly scientific secrets can be sold to Russia and China for exchange of information or for exchange  of weapons or even political favors.
Here is a video for Nozette answering questions submitted to the lunar Reconnaissance orbiter Camera website

In scientists turned to spies category we go local as the family of convicted spy Siad Saber is suing Israel for turning their son in to a traitor, it amazes me because this lawsuit proves that he is guilty of espionage in the eyes of his own family which kept defending him in the past. I think the family was encouraged to do that step after the historical court order against Israeli government . The lawsuit of the Sabers is just pathetic by all means , already Mossad did not force her son who is not an idiot as he is trying to do , he is a grown up man with high level of intelligence and zero level of patriotism !!
