A dozen high profile espionage cases dominated news headlines in the United States as the Cold War entered its final phase. One of the spies outted in that year stood out from among his peers. Jonathan 'Jay' Pollard was a Jewish American civilian intelligence analyst stationed at the US Navy's Anti-Terrorist Alert Center (ATAC). Over a period of 18 months, Pollard supplied an estimated 30 cubic feet worth of claassifid and top secret material, not to the Soviet Union or another of the USA's enemies, but to one of its closest allies - Israel. The revelation of his betrayal sent shockwaves through the inlelligence community and the public at large, and threatened to caused the USA and Israel to teeter on the brink of a diplomatic criss. His life sentence following a plea deal only served to fan the flames of controversry, with some regarding Pollard's punishment as a grave miscarriage of justice, while others believe he got exactly what he deserved.
