| Government moves to dismiss AIPAC case |
| 2009-05-03 |
| From what I've read, this investigation involved long-term phone taps, surveillance, and a sting operation, and they only managed to catch the staffers in [arguably] illegal activities once Franklin told them that he had classified information that the lives of specific Israeli agents in Iran were in danger. This seems like rather thin gruel given the scope of the investigation, which could mean that (1) the hearsay [that AIPAC staffer were engaging in wrongdoing, leading to the investigation] was wrong or exaggerated; (2) as the commentator above suggests, someone was out to get AIPAC; or (3) that the staffers had become more careful about not stepping over the legal line than when the feds got their original information. We are left to wonder whether 1, 2, or 3, or some combination, is correct. Given the organization that (i) does not recruits Jews of ME origins as translators---cause they're biased; and (ii) constantly works to increase its ties with "American Muslim Comunity"; I---for one---have very little trouble chosing among 1,2,3. |
