WAR: FBI Arrest Pentagon Analyst with ties to A.I.P.A.C

from Aelita
I just think it's outrageous that we allow a group to lobby for a foreign power. It's always seemed bizzarre to me. They openly steer the US policies, doing whatever is necessary to get benefits (yes, they also mention $$$ in their manifestos).

Well, it's not much different than having a foreign embassy in your land, if you think about it. Actually, ambasssadors are much worse since they can invoke diplomatic immunity.

Pentagon analyst Larry Frankin was finally arrested after a year under investigation by the FBI for sharing classified information with A.I.P.A.C. Franklin was tied to A.I.P.A.C, a major lobbing group for Israel, last year and worked for the Defense Undersecretary of Policy Doug Feith.

Larry Franklin, 58, of Kearneysville, W. Va., turned himself in Wednesday morning, FBI spokeswoman Debra Weierman said. He was scheduled to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., later Wednesday, Weierman said.
The charge is the first in an investigation dating back to 2001 about whether Israel improperly obtained classified U.S. information.

FBI agents twice searched AIPAC offices as part of the investigation. They also have interviewed two AIPAC employees about whether Franklin gave them classified information that wound up in Israel's hands.
AIPAC said it gave the FBI files related to those same two employees, who previously were identified — Steve Rosen, the director of research, and Keith Weissman, deputy director of foreign policy issues. Neither still works for the group.

A Pentagon official said Franklin continued to work at the Pentagon until his arrest, but he could not immediately say what kind of work he performed or who was his immediate supervisor. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under FBI investigation.
However, Franklin's top secret security clearance was suspended in June 2004, the Justice Department said. He formerly worked in the office of policy undersecretary Douglas Feith.

This story has much broader implication than meets the eye! If you remember the US was investigating Chalabi at this time and trying to find out how he received the information he was passing on to the Iranians. Feith, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld distanced themselves from Chalabi after that, but they forgot to tie up the loose ends with Frankin and the A.I.P.A.C .. The plot thickens!

Why is an israeli spy trying to infilitrate our intelligence? And more importantly why are we treating Arial Sharon and his chronies with upmost respect when they have the same terrorist ties as any militant organization in Palestine?

Stop amnesty to Israel

It’s about time! Now for the rest of the Zionist Parasites!

I'll give a dollar to whoever can name a nation that has never spied on the US and a nation that the US has never spied on.

Please explain?

How many times does that happen?

Many people/nations take advantage of it in the wrong way. But
foreign diplomats in the US have the same immunity.
