I should had CIA executed their spy and fed to zoo animals, and claimed their spy had escaped like MSK, Wong Kan Seng will help me to sell the story. 
:p
As far as I am concerned Jews and Arabs are both terrorists, and their spies are all to be consumed by zoo animals.

TEL AVIV—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked President Barack Obama to release Jonathan Pollard, an unusually public request by the Israeli leader on behalf of the former naval intelligence officer, who was sentenced to life in jail for spying for the Jewish state.
The Israeli government has quietly inquired about clemency for Mr. Pollard in the past, and previous requests have been met coolly by Washington. Tuesday's appeal comes as the Obama administration and Israel's government have sparred publicly for months over how to proceed with peace talks with the Palestinians.
The U.S. has generally supported a Palestinian call for a freeze in Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Palestinian officials have refused to restart talks until a total freeze is agreed upon, something Mr. Netanyahu has been unwilling to do.
In recent months, the subject of Mr. Pollard's possible release from a U.S. prison has become entwined in the public dialogue over how Israel and Palestinian authorities might re-engage in peace talks. Gaining Mr. Pollard's release would win Mr. Netanyahu political points with Israeli hard-liners.
Those hard-liners are also a key pillar in Mr. Netanyahu's governing coalition, and they have opposed any concessions to the Palestinians. Mr. Pollard's release could make it easier for Mr. Netanyahu to make concessions.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv said the letter is being reviewed.
After his arrest in 1985, Mr. Pollard agreed to a plea bargain, pleading guilty to one count of espionage. Despite the deal, he was sentenced in 1987 to life in jail. Israel belatedly acknowledged that Mr. Pollard passed information to its intelligence services. In his letter, Mr. Netanyahu acknowledged Israel's regret for the episode.
"Even though Israel was in no way directing its intelligence efforts against the United States, its actions were wrong and wholly unacceptable," Mr. Netanyahu wrote in the letter. "Since Jonathan Pollard has now spent 25 years in prison, I believe that a new request for clemency is highly appropriate."
