2. Read to the bottom of Stein's article. Interesting reference to "180 documents"
Edited on Tue May-11-10 01:07 PM by leveymg
Graymail, indeed. See, http://blog.washingtonpost.com/spy-talk/2010/05/rosen_claims_aipac_made_promis.html

As part of the discovery process in the defamation suit, he says, he has provided AIPAC's attorneys with “about 180” internal documents showing that officials routinely gathered inside information from government officials about U.S. policy in the Middle East.

Moreover it was common, he and others have said, for U.S. officials to enlist AIPAC to drum up support for policies they couldn’t sell themselves.

“It’s not done in service of Israel,” he says, “but the U.S.-Israel relationship, which we would argue serves us both.”


Wonder if that "serves us both" reference alludes to Rosen's source, Col. Larry Franklin, salting Pentagon files with Iran WMD documents "suggested by F0-3" (Mossad Chief of Station, Naor Gilon). Who can doubt, Condi and others within the Bush inner-circle would have welcomed a pretext to start Operation Iraq Liberation (OIL) - Track II?
