US Spymaster Betrays US, Lashes Out When Called Out
The New Arab reports ex-spy Jonathan Pollard lashed out at the US after details of his 'secret' meeting with Mike Huckabee were revealed. Pollard, convicted of spying for Israel in 1985, seems genuinely aggrieved that the US isn't giving him a hero's welcome. One might wonder if his loyalty ever extended beyond his handlers (AIPAC, incidentally, lobbied for his release for decades, per OpenSecrets
data). This isn't just about a disgruntled ex-spy; it's about the double-standard applied to those who betray US national security for a 'strategic ally.' While others face life sentences for similar offenses for less favored nations, Pollard and his supporters frame his conviction as an injustice. The audacity to complain about US 'betrayal' after committing actual espionage against it suggests a
deeply skewed moral compass or, more accurately, a geopolitical one.
