israeli spies

This has been getting a lot of ink and pixels. There has always been a cozy relationship between the Neocons, AIPAC (the Israeli lobby), and Israel. These people think it's more important to support Israel than their own country. Traitors! Laura Rozen broke this story and is keeping on top of it.

Iran-Contra II?
Fresh scrutiny on a rogue Pentagon operation.


On Friday evening, CBS News reported that the FBI is investigating a suspected mole in the Department of Defense who allegedly passed to Israel, via a pro-Israeli lobbying organization, classified American intelligence about Iran. The focus of the investigation, according to U.S. government officials, is Larry Franklin, a veteran Defense Intelligence Agency Iran analyst now working in the office of the Pentagon's number three civilian official, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith.

FBI agents Sunday and Monday questioned senior officials in the Department of Defense as part of an investigation into allegations that a Pentagon analyst passed on classified documents to an Israeli lobbying group, which may have then passed them on to the government of Israel.

Axis Of Spies


Here's the axis we should be worried about: The Axis of Spies made up by the American Enterprise Institute, AIPAC and the Embassy of Israel.If the FBI weren’t so busy trying to catch nonexistent Al Qaeda suspects, they might consider devoting a few more resources to tracking down this expanding Israeli nest of spies.

Pentagon/Israel Spying Case Expands:
Fomenting a War on Iran

by Juan Cole


It is an echo of the one-two punch secretly planned by the pro-Likud faction in the Department of Defense. First, Iraq would be taken out by the United States, and then Iran. David Wurmser, a key member of the group, also wanted Syria included. These pro-Likud intellectuals concluded that 9/11 would give them carte blanche to use the Pentagon as Israel's Gurkha regiment, fighting elective wars on behalf of Tel Aviv (not wars that really needed to be fought, but wars that the Likud coalition thought it would be nice to see fought so as to increase Israel's ability to annex land and act aggressively, especially if someone else's boys did the dying).

The Israeli spying accusation: big questions!
by Helena Cobban


What might this "something big" be? I haven't the foggiest. But I can tell you this: Now that the accusations have been publicly voiced, this is evidently not a story that's going to go away. I'm hoping that newshounds with the big, well-supported media (unlike my humble self) can really get to work hard on the story. In which case, I have no doubt we'll learn more in the days ahead...
