I don't think so. The people in question had no reason to have their clearance pulled or investigated. We're not talking Israeli citizens, we're talking people who are jewish. That's it. No questions of spying are asked, just a "general review of your security clearance sir, nothing to do with your religion"
As for spying for Israel, We have locked someone up and threw away the key. The only spy we've ever done that to. What he gave to Israel was documentation that was supposed to be given to them anyway about Saddam's chemical weapons program (yes, it did exist. Ask the kurds). Israel sold him out (why I'd never work for them ever), America reneged on his plea bargan and threw him into a hole. Russian agents were never held as long. Saudi agents, Chinese agents, Iranian agents, etc. Only one agent has ever been locked up and the key thrown away. I wonder what makes him special. Can't be because he was spying for an ally as we've 'escorted' British and French agents out of the country without jail time (or minimal). I wonder why he's different. Actually, I really wonder why Israel didn't trade for him when sending American spy's back to America, but I guess only we're supposed to lock people up and throw away the key. I wonder how it would fly if the question was about if his forfathers were black and when did he consider himself not black. Or had security clearance investigated because someone is black. (Maybe he's spying for Uganda. Maybe that white guy of British decent is spying for England. Lets investigate them all and deny everyone security clearance) > My personal feeling is you are way overreaching here, Michael. > > Were the people denied due to being jewish, or being suspected of > spying for Israel?
