Accused spy targeted because he's Jewish, report says
A Detroit-area military engineer accused in 1997 of passing secrets to
the Israelis was targeted because of his Orthodox Jewish faith, the
Defense Department's Office of Inspector General said in a report.

Wrongly Accused Says Lawyer
Tenenbaum's lawyer, Mayer Morganroth, said the man was singled out
because he is an observant Jew. People were jealous, because Tennebaum
was brilliant.
He developed a new humvee armor, but was laid off because of the
charges of spying. This decision that proved fatal to American troops
and Morganroth's associate, Daniel Harold, said Tenenbaum's
persecutors "have blood on their hands."

Anti Semitism At It's Worst
Tenenbaum and his lawyers said the report proves that he was
innocent and the victim of anti-Semitism.
"You have no idea what it's like to have your loyalty questioned, to
be accused of being a traitor," Tenenbaum told the Free Press last
week. He wants an apology from the Army and his accusers punished.

Senator Levin To The Rescue
The 62-page report, requested by U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.,
chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was issued three
weeks ago with little fanfare.
"It was well known that Mr. Tenenbaum was Jewish, lived his religious
beliefs and by his actions appeared to have a close affinity for
Israel," the report said. "We believe that Mr. Tenenbaum was subjected
to unusual and unwelcome scrutiny because of his faith and ethnic
background, a practice that would undoubtedly fit a definition of
discrimination."

Army Investigators Set Tenenbaum Up
It said TACOM counterintelligence officials had Tenenbaum apply for
a higher security clearance as "a ruse" to launch an improper spy
investigation.
The report said he lost his security clearance but eventually got it
back and upgraded, a result that "suggests that Mr. Tenenbaum did not
improperly disclose classified material."

His Poppa Was A Holocaust Survivor
Tenenbaum, a Detroit-born son of a Holocaust survivor, was hired by
TACOM in 1984 after obtaining engineering degrees from Wayne State
University and working for a defense contractor in Troy. TACOM hired
him to design safer combat vehicles.
The report said TACOM hired Tenenbaum because he speaks Hebrew, which
officials viewed as an asset in working with Israel on joint projects.

Overseas Trips
Coworkers said Tenenbaum spent too much time associating with
Israeli contacts, made his own travel arrangements for overseas trips
and stayed in hotels away from colleagues -- which Simonini and others
regarded as telltale signs of spying, the report said.

Failed A Lie Detector
The request resulted in a 6 1/2 -hour polygraph examination in
February 1997 in which Tenenbaum allegedly admitted making inadvertent
disclosures of classified information to the Israeli government over a
10-year period.
Tenenbaum said the examiner lied. He said the polygraph examination
was a horrendous interrogation session conducted by a belligerent
examiner who repeatedly accused him of passing secrets and demanded a
confession.
" 'I'hey done other Jews before, and I've gotten them to confess,
too,' " Tenenbaum said the examiner told him, according to the report.

The Pollard Syndrome
This is another persecution similar to Jonathan Pollard. The report
is a victory for civil rights, said Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon
Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, a Jewish human rights group.
