More Calls to Punish Spies: All Environments Harbor Them!


09/08/2010 Day after another, more spies and agents are discovered in Lebanon…

While this seems to be a scandal in itself in all developed countries, the real scandal remains in the fact that these spies remain unpunished, despite all political pressures and calls.

On Monday, more calls were raised to punish the spies and hang them so that they can constitute an example for their "colleagues," especially that the nation's treason remains the most severe sin nowadays.

In this context, Speaker Nabih Berri called for punishing all Lebanese who have collaborated with the Israeli Mossad and urged the judiciary to assume its duties in this regard. "As long as the issue of spy networks has reached the point of threatening Lebanon, all spies should be punished," Berri told Lebanese daily An-Nahar. While emphasizing that spies do not belong to a single sect, the speaker urged judicial authorities to carry out their role.

For his part, the head of the Democratic Gathering MP Walid Jumblatt said that the discovery of one agent after the other "reveals that all environments can harbor spies." He said in his weekly editorial in the Progressive Socialist Party-affiliated al-Anbaa newspaper that "agents don't belong to any sect or religion but they are only indebted to those who recruit and use them for their own interests, which in this case is Israel."

"Efforts to discover agents and spies are a priority that should precede all security, intelligence, and military matters given the great number of infiltrations witnessed in different regions and sects," he added.

"The major spy networks harm national security and pave the way for the Israeli enemy to infiltrate the different Lebanese political, economic, and social fields, making the internal scene exposed before the Jewish state," Jumblatt stressed.
