::Prosecutors say Kadish, a U.S. citizen who worked at an Army base in New Jersey, took home classified documents for six years and let the Israeli photograph them in his basement.

		+	==Israeli leak claim==
		+	Former CIA officer [[Philip Giraldi]] has claimed that Kadish's name was leaked to the FBI by doves in the Israeli Government, to undermine the presentation to Congress of Israeli intelligence about an alleged nuclear reactor in Syria.
		+	::It is believed that the “doves” in the Olmert administration who leaked the information are seeking to make a military confrontation more difficult and are hoping that negotiations, particularly with Syria, will instead take place. The revelation of more Israeli spying will also make it more difficult for Jonathan Pollard to be released from prison. There has been speculation that President Bush would pardon him before leaving office as a favor to Israel and the neocons. <ref>

		+	According to Giraldi the FBI is investigating other US citizens, including 'including an individual who held very senior security positions in the Clinton and Bush White Houses.'
