Informing your decisions with actionable intelligence
A former Pentagon analyst who passed highly classified intelligence to two Chinese military officers was sentenced to three months in prison yesterday — far shy of four to five years called for in sentencing guidelines.
His excuses sound eerily similar to those given by Jonathan Pollard when he passed classified to the Israelis (he got life).
Larry Franklin passed classified to Israeli lobbyists and he got 12 years.
Curious how one particular group of people supposedly have such great pull in our government, yet it is the panda hugger who gets the slap on the wrist. Hmmmm.
