Jonathan Pollard is the U.S. Navy civilian intelligence analyst convicted in 1985 of spying for Israel. He is the canonical publicly proven case of Israeli espionage against the United States. John Kiriakou invokes Pollard’s case in his account of his first appearance on Piers Morgan’s program, in which he debated a former director of the Mossad who denied any post-1985 Israeli espionage against the United States. Kiriakou’s counter: “Jonathan Pollard was caught in 1985, and you were spying on the United States in 1998, you know, or 2004.” The former Mossad director declined to comment.[1]
