A UPI report from Richard Sale is starting to make the FBI probe of AIPAC sound like the exposure of a full-fledged Israeli spy ring in Washington.(hat tip: M. Simon)
Although (perhaps because) Mr. Sale is UPI’s “intelligence correspondent” I am highly skeptical of this article. Remember this all began with the supposed “leak” of internal US government documents concerning Iran that were tantamount to opeds or something I could have written on here, indeed have. This smacks of being a kind of Revenge of the Arabists. There may even be entrapment involved. We shall see. I am in the process of tracking this down with sources in DC and will have more to say on the matter in a day or two.
On the other side of the ledger, I know it’s a couple of weeks late, but I just saw this article from the fabulous Julie Burchill at the Timesonline. Read it, if you haven’t.
Roger, I love Julie Burchill. I live in a small blue area in a red state, and there are many, many anti-Israel people here, becoming more and more vocal. I am saving up to buy the Relentess package from Honest Reporting, so I can have all of the information to answer their hateful charges. It’s $100, which is a little much for me at one time, but it’s looks to be well worth it. I don’t want to just speak from emotion, but to have good solid facts.
Roger,
Thanks for the pointer to Ms. Burchill’s article. She’s got much to say and a talent for saying it.
