From Wiki: “. . .passing information about U.S. policy
towards Iran to the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC), the foremost pro-Israel lobbying
organization in the U.S, while he was working for the
Defense Department in what he claims was an attempt to
get the information passed on to the United States
National Security Council, which he could not do through
regular Pentagon channels. Two former employees of
that organization are also facing charges that they
assisted him in the AIPAC espionage scandal and
passing classified information to an Israeli diplomat Naor
Gilon. On January 20, 2006, Judge T.S. Ellis, III sentenced
Franklin to 151 months (almost 13 years) in prison and
fined him $10,000.”
