Equal time. He hasn't got a snowballs chance in Hell of collecting, IMHO, but it's nice Levin is sticking up for him. There are some Alice-in-Wonderlandy aspects too, he names Wolfowitz and Ashcroft as a defendants for example.

DETROIT (AP) - An Orthodox Jewish Army engineer who was cleared of spying for Israel sued the U.S. Defense and Justice departments Thursday, saying they made false security claims to prevent him from seeking compensation.

David Tenenbaum and his wife, Madeline, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Detroit, calling the secrecy claim ''frivolous'' and an ''abuse of power.''

In addition to the government, the lawsuit names former Attorney General John Ashcroft, former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and several other individuals as defendants.

A spokesman for the Defense Department's inspector general declined comment Thursday on the Tenenbaums' lawsuit, their second since 1998 when they sued over religious discrimination.

1. They Didn't Have That Kind Of Engineering At School

I had to settle for Electrical Engineering. I suspect the conversation would have been more fun as a Jewish Engineer. Ah, well.
