Karma

"Scientist charged with improperly passing on classified information"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/19/u.s.espionage.charge.israel/index.html

A Spy?! Really, mention the word spy and visions of the Red Scare and James Bond movies pop into my head. I don't know what that says about me, but I do know that the word pulled me to this article. Anyways, the alleged "spy" David Nozette, age 52, has been arrested and charged for delivering top secret information regarding classified government aerospace programs to an Israeli government informant - or so he thought. Apparently, this so-called intelligence official was actually an undercover FBI agent testing Nozette's loyalty, which has come under suspicion recently. After Nozette and the agent met repeatedly, Nozette did eventually deliver some high security, top secret information without knowing who exactly he was dealing with. Now he's looking at a possible life sentence for his treachery. Can you say karma?
