A former NASA scientist pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempting to sell classified information about US military satellites.  He admitted guilt in exchange for a proposed 13 year prison sentence (he faced 30 years to life).  CNN reports that the FBI sting operation busted the trader in 2009.  Spies are nothing new.  Unfortunately, it is also nothing new that our own allies, including this one (Israel) are the ones spying or attempting to purchase illegally gained information about our secret developments and technologies.  While James Bond thrillers are a favorite, in real life, it bothers me when countries that we support with taxpayer dollars turn around and treat us this way.  What do you think?
