Twenty-five years ago this month, Jonathan Pollard, a civilian naval intelligence analyst, was arrested for passing to Israel classified U.S. data concerning Iraq, Syria and other Arab states, including evidence of Saddam Hussein's development of chemical weapons.
Had the Pollards just passed on intelligence to an ally their crime would be easier to understand and excuse. They didn't. They sold it.
