FBI looks at Pentagon worker in Israel spy probe - Aug 27, 2004

Here are the relevant quotes from the article.

The suspect could have been in a position to influence Bush administration policy toward Iran and Iraq, the senior official said.


Multiple sources have told CNN that the investigation is well along, and one government official described the evidence against the suspect as a "slam dunk case" and said "there has been no decision to prosecute the individual."


Washington insiders note that it is not unusual for friendly governments to have access to certain classified information, so even if the allegations are correct, not everyone involved may have thought they were involved in espionage. Still, one U.S. source is calling the case "a very serious matter."
