U.S. scientist arrested on charges of attempting to spy for Israel

[Rey C.]

We give and we give... and we give some more. And yet, every few years, Israel attempts to steal what we don't already give them for free. Someone remind me again of what good "friends" they are to the U.S.

A criminal complaint unsealed today in Washington charges Stewart David Nozette, 52, of Chevy Chase, with attempted espionage. Nozette is accused of attempting to deliver classified U.S. defense information to an undercover FBI agent he believed to be an Israeli intelligence officer in exchange for money, the Justice Department said in a statement.

From November 1998 through January 2008, Nozette worked as a technical consultant for an aerospace company that was owned by the government of Israel. Once a month, representatives of the company proposed questions to Nozette that he answered in return for payments totaling about $225,000, according to a criminal complaint. Dean Boyd, a Justice Department spokesman, declined to name the company.
