	Obviously, Jake can't quote the document of it is secret. Given
the facts we know about US-Israeli intelligence cooperation, Jake's
argument is not all that far fetched. The problem is that the Israelis
cheated on the system, rather than going through appropriate channels.
Jay Pollard's job was not to control the flow of intelligence info
going to the Israeli side. He was deluded to think that he was acting
in a manner that helped Israeli interests without hurting US interests.
