Part 4 of 4

TONY SNOW, HOST: This week, senior correspondent Carl Cameron has reported on a longstanding government espionage investigation. Federal officials this year have arrested or detained nearly 200 Israeli citizens suspected of belonging to an „organized intelligence-gathering operation.“ The Bush administration has deported most of those arrested after Sept. 11, although some are in custody under the new anti-terrorism law.

Cameron also investigates the possibility that an Israeli firm generated billing data that could be used for intelligence purpose, and describes concerns that the federal government‘s own wiretapping system may be vulnerable. Tonight, in part four of the series, we‘ll learn about the probable roots of the probe: a drug case that went bad four years ago in L.A.
