Lots of interesting info coming out about the Kadish spy case. Many believe a dove movement within the Olmert government leaked info to the FBI that Kadish was an Israeli spy, and that more are involved. Was their intention to stall a US/Israeli attack on Iran and Syria? Sure looks that way.

Quote:

Before the anonymous leak of information, the FBI had no idea that Kadish had been a spy for Israel. Now it is investigating a number of US citizens, including an individual who held very senior security positions in the Clinton and Bush White Houses.

Whats also odd about this case is that after his arrest Kadish was still being advised by his handler after all these years.

Quote:

The FBI paid Kadish a visit, and Yagur called him shortly afterward, on March 20, after his initial interview with the Feds: "Don't say anything," Yagur told him. "Let them say whatever they want. … What happened 25 years ago? You didn't remember anything."

With a "friend" like Israel, who needs enemies?

Another article with commentary from the investigator who oversaw the Pollard case.

Quote:

Ron Olive, the navy investigator in charge of the Pollard case, said he was shocked when he heard about Kadish’s arrest.

The description of CC-1 as Pollard’s handler meant that “it has to be” Yagur, he said by telephone from Arizona, where he was giving a counterintelligence lecture to federal officials.

“I was like, ‘holy cow, this is unbelievable,’” he said.

Olive said the arrest meant that Kadish was still working for Israeli intelligence.

“It means Israel still has an agent in place in the U.S. who can ferret out someone who has access to information they want,” Olive said.

One role Kadish could play was as a “spotter,” who could size up possible recruits for Israeli intelligence, even while living in a retirement community in Monroe Township, N.J., said Olive and another former federal agent.

“That jumped out at me,” said Harry B. “Skip” Brandon, a former deputy assistant director of counterintelligence at the FBI.

“It is very unusual for a former agent handler and his former agent to remain friends. And it’s dangerous for both,” he added. Any communication between the two, no matter how innocent, raises the risk of detection and exposure.

Other aspects of the case suggest that Jerusalem has at least one, and maybe several more spies embedded in U.S. military services or intelligence agencies: As with Pollard, the Israelis asked Kadish for specific documents, indicating they knew what they were looking for, supplied by another spy.
