power circles to newspapers, publication of which alerted Syrians they had a spy close to Assad ?

and ultimately the hanging of this brave man? why didn't IAF jets appear in the skies over Damascus and scatter the blood-thirsty mob that gathered to witness his hanging? While diplomatic efforts were made to save him, it seems that in his final days, Eli Cohen would have himself felt abandoned to the enemy.

Since we know what God is going to do to those nations who battle against Israel, I have this question remaining; how can the U.S. government call itself an ally with Israel when it won't release Jonathon Pollard? Isn't God going to consider this "battling against Israel"? There are other people wanting release from the U.S. government to go to Israel. What about their release?

an Egyptian officer was in a mission in Syria when he came across Cohen. He reported him to the Syrian as previous jailed Egyptian citizen. Syrian authority agreed with Egyptian one to declare another weak story of stopping him "in action" during ordinary wireless surveillance patrol.

... for others he was a sucker

Your interesting comment about the Eli Cohen case brings to mind a saying I heard more than ten years ago... "It doesn't matter what you think we will all know the truth and what is correct in the end !" Perhaps the "end" in question is nigh ? Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the case files of various agencies around the world were thrown open for all the world to see ? I think this opening of the Pandora's Box/Closet of Skeletons would be incredibly cathartic for many nations. (Like when the Stasi case files were revealed post the fall of the Berlin Wall.) The big question now is "Who is afraid of the revelation of such facts ?" How many "Emperors" will be revealed as having no clothes ?
