Jonathan Pollard: A Portrayal of an Israeli Espionage Spy *video*


Today the Center for Policy and Law Enforcement releases a Defense Intelligence Agency video obtained under a multi-year Freedom of Information Act process.   Jonathan Pollard was sentenced to life in prison in 1987 after he was caught selling large amounts of highly classified documents to Israel. The 14 minute video "Jonathan Pollard: A Portrayal" produced by the Threat Countermeasures Branch of the DIA emphasizes that "eighty percent" of the documents obtained by Pollard were DIA files.

This public domain video was released under the Freedom of Information Act on June 25, 2012 to the IRmep Center for Policy and Law Enforcement. It encourages government employees to report suspicions of espionage. An actress portrays "Susan" who observes Jonathan Pollard's suspicious activities and tall tales, but fears reporting might lead to investigators "climbing all over" the offices.

The video reveals how the investigation was in fact discreet and highly effective, and urges people debating whether to report to immediately contact their security officer.
