This is, of course, the precise sort of thing which FBI linguist-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds has been alleging concerning both Turkish and Israeli interests for some time. In her case, she has testified under oath to nearly-identical behavior by U.S. scientists, military personnel and academics at top-secret nuclear and military installations who are alleged to have done precisely what Stewart David Nozette has now been busted for, as reported today by AFP…
Stewart David Nozette, 52, developed an experiment that fueled the discovery of water on the south pole of the moon, and previously held special security clearance at the Department of Energy on atomic materials, the DOJ said.
He is charged with “attempted espionage for knowingly and willfully attempting to communicate, deliver, and transmit classified information relating to the national defense of the United States to an individual that Nozette believed to be an Israeli intelligence officer,” the DOJ said.
Nozette had been dealing with an FBI undercover agent in a sting operation, the department said, adding there was no wrongdoing by Israel.
…
“The conduct alleged in this complaint is serious and should serve as a warning to anyone who would consider compromising our nation’s secrets for profit,” said David Kris, assistant attorney general for national security.
…
“From 1989 through 2006, Nozette held security clearances as high as top secret and had regular, frequent access to classified information and documents related to the US national defense,” the Justice Department said.
…
“In addition, Nozette allegedly offered to reveal additional classified information that directly concerned nuclear weaponry, military spacecraft or satellites, and other major weapons systems,” DOJ said.
In addition to allegations against a network of moles said to be based at U.S. nuclear weapons facilities, Edmonds has also fingered current and former members of Congress, such as Dennis Hastert (R-IL), Dan Burton (R-IN), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Stephen Solarz (D-NY) and Tom Lantos (D-CA, deceased), as well as high-ranking Pentagon and State Dept. officials such as Marc Grossman, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, as having participated, via bribery and blackmail schemes, in related espionage with Turkish and Israeli interests.
Despite several high profile front-page features on all of this in the UK Sunday Times last year (here, here and here), Edmonds’ recent sworn deposition on these matters, a recent cover-story interview in American Conservative magazine, and an 18-year FBI executive officer corroborating key elements of her story and calling for a “Special Counsel” to investigate and prosecute, the U.S. corporate mainstream media have failed to report on the Edmonds story at all since she was finally allowed to speak about these matters in August following seven years of gag orders from the Bush Administration’s invocation of the so-called “State Secrets Privilege.”

A Jew traitor(Ben-Ami Kadish) admitted to giving Yosef Yagur(Jonathan Pollard’s very same handler)Nuclear WEAPON, Patriot Missile, and F-15 secrets.
He gets a $50,000 fine for selling out the his own country.
The traitors reply to the Judge after being fined…’No problem.’

I will be impressed when they start hauling in some of the traitors in Congress and the neocons like Perle and Feith.

Brad:
Have you seen this:

[ed note: No, Erich, the link works fine, even if it doesn’t show the whole long string. –99]
Col.Lang has a good suggestion at sic semper tyrannus.
so is this a token bust or a step in the right direction?
i would love to see carol lam tapped as special prosecutor

from the article
TreeTop007 – “Jew traitor”? Lovely. So in addition to being an unbelievable homophobe (see TT7’s obnoxious comment thread beginning here) and teabagger, you’re also an anti-Semite? Folks like you never fail to amaze. That’s some good hatin’ there, chief.
Brad, you did especially well conveying the outrageousness of the situation here–succinct listing of a set of facts that just do not add up no matter how one looks at it. Thanks for your efforts to keep writing about Sibel against the deafening silence. Is there any way at all to explain this to a semi-rational mind?!?
If someone objects to the racist, apartheid policies of the Jewish State, they are labeled “anti-semitic”. If someone notices and mentions discrepancies in the official Holocaust ™ story, such as how the sacred “6 million” number hasn’t changed, despite the reduction in Auschwitz official numbers from 4 million to 1-1.5 million, they are labeled “anti-semitic”. If someone notices that our supposed friends in the Jewish State are heavily involved in espionage against us and sell our military secrets to China, they are labeled “anti-semitic”.
So, tell me, what’s so wrong with being labeled “anti-semitic”? Sounds like it is a badge of honor in recognition of one’s morality and ability to see the obvious.
What I find interesting re Edmonds narrative is corroboration with other information about 911 and the NeoCons. There were evidently cells within the U S, British, Israeli and other governments in collusion, having the same effect of overruling their intelligence agencies to get their goals accomplished. It looks as though we had U S, British, Israeli and other agents trying to prevent 911 and the war against Iraq, and agents in these same agencies working to enable them.

Karen,
Unfortunately, Carol Lam was rather QUICKLY hired on as Qualcomm’s Senior Vice President and Legal Counsel right after she left her prosecutor position when she indicted Dusty Foggo and Brent Wilkes. Done right about the time when a few Dems were looking at the idea of hiring her back as an independent contractor to follow up on the prosecutions she was working on.
Perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps not so coincidentally, Brent Scowcroft, serves on the board of Qualcomm, as well as the board of the American Turkish Council (ATC).
Probably would be difficult to hire her away from that position.

IcebergSlim,
When you and treetop say that Ban-Ami Kadish is a ‘Jew traitor’, you are implying that he’s traitor to the “Jew” religion, which if you want to be more accurate and not slurring it, you would refer to him as a ‘JewISH traitor’, if you wanted to make him out to be a traitor to his JewISH religion.
But no, you are saying that he is a “Jew betraying his country”. WHICH country, the U.S., or Israel? THOSE are countries. There is no country named “Jew”. Therefore one can only conclude that “Jew” as you and Treetop use it is an ADDITIONAL adjective besides Kadish’s country used to denigrate him as a slur on his religion.
Now he might be an AMERICAN traitor, which I don’t think Brad would have necessarily taken issue with, if you have an honest reason to feel that he’s betrayed America, which many here, perhaps including myself might feel. But there’s no reason to use religious slurs when none are necessary. It just gives those who are trying to have honest criticism of these foreign country lobbies and those that are abusing their power in our government with them a bad name.
You don’t call other traitors here like Bush a “Christ-lover” traitor do you? He might be a traitor too, which I feel there’s a good argument for saying, but I wouldn’t use that terminology if I wanted to get others to hear what I am saying for the RIGHT reasons, and not for other reasons that appeals to other emotions instead of logic.

I found some interesting stuff behind Nozette having worked for the Israeli government owned Israel Aerospace Industries for a decade and a possible sale of satellites to Turkey currently being held up by the US government.
It may or may not be relevant but I am kicking it in here anyways.
Great work, Connecticut1. Saw it earlier today, and included links to it (and quote from it), in my story today on the Military.com piece on Edmonds. See end of the article here: https://bradblog.com/?p=7478
Thanks kindly! Glad someone found it useful. lol
What about the many security secrets sold to Russia, China, et al, by Boeing? I just read about this at http://www.commondreams.org/hea...e/2009/10/19-8.
It is no secret that the U.S. government is full of spies for Israel but the heavily Zionist influenced press does not cover these things for obvious reasons.
