Who is Wolf Blitzer?

Wolf Blitzer was a writer for the Jerusalem Post and penned an article defending New Hampshire’s own political activist Max Hugel, whose forced departure from the CIA caused controversy in 1981. Blitzer’s 1984 article ends by suggesting the CIA should be investigated for anti Semitism.The irony is that in 1984, Jonathan Pollard was a Jewish spy for Israel and passing secrets from his post as an analyst for Naval Intelligence before he was arrested by the CIA in 1985.

In 1984, Hugel was involved with the founders of the Washington Times. Through the years the Washington Times has published articles in support of Pollard.

In 1989 Wolf Blitzer wrote a book titled "Territory of Lies" about Jonathan Pollard. Robert Friedman (NY review of books) was critical of it in a book review. In response to Wolf Blitzer’s objections to the review, Friedman accused Wolf Blitzer of sympathies to Netanyahu and Blitzer’s former employer the American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC) .

In 1999 Bill Clinton was going to pardon Pollard in order to get concessions from Israel concerning the Middle East peace plan but George Tenant the head of the CIA threatened to resign if he did. Several months ago Netanyahu proclaimed that if elected he will win Jonathan Pollards release from prison.

In his recent book "The Capture Of Jonathan Pollard" Ronald Olive, a former Naval Intelligence official with first hand knowledge, is concerned that apologists for Pollard’s activities have muddied the waters over the years.
