Скачать или смотреть From Moon Water to FBI Sting: The Stewart Nozette Case

Stewart Nozette - NASA scientist who tried to sell secrets to Israel Stewart David Nozette was a respected geoscientist with a Ph.D. from MIT, holding Top Secret security clearances from 1989 to 2006. His impressive career included work on the Clementine mission, which famously discovered evidence of water on the Moon. However, the 2009 incident was not a case of a foreign government actively seeking secrets. The initial contact was made by an undercover FBI agent who posed as an Israeli intelligence officer, approaching Nozette. Nozette agreed to provide classified information for payment, leading to his arrest. He ultimately pleaded guilty to a single count of attempted espionage. While some speculate financial troubles were his motive, there is no evidence that the Israeli government solicited classified information from him. [U.S. Dept. of Justice]
