AIPAC on Trial
Counter Punch / JAMES PETRAS
23-Aug-2009 (one comment)

In August 2004, the FBI and the US Justice Department counter-intelligence bureau announced that they were investigating a top Pentagon analyst suspected of spying for Israel and handing over highly confidential documents on US policy toward Iran to AIPAC which in turn handed them over to the Israeli Embassy. The FBI had been covertly investigating senior Pentagon analyst, Larry Franklin and AIPAC leaders, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman for several years prior to their indictment for spying. On August 29, 2005 the Israeli Embassy predictably hotly denied the spy allegation. On the same day Larry Franklin was publicly named as a spy suspect. Franklin worked closely with Michael Ledeen and Douglas Feith, then Undersecretary for Defense in the Pentagon, in fabricating the case for war with Iraq. Franklin was the senior analyst on Iran, which is at the top of AIPAC's list of targets for war.

up to date info about Iran's most ardent enemy, AIPAC. The problem is there was no trial. Rosen's new "job" is to bash Obama; Weissman was let go and Larry Frankling was tried, convicted and sentenced to 12 years in jail, which was reduced to house arrest.

AIPAC is still busy being Iran's enemy number one, and anyone who is interested in protecting Iran's interests and restoring the US-Iran relations must fight AIPAC on their own turf. That is mainly the US congress, where AIPAC's influence is at the fullest.

The way to do this is by contacting your house reps and the senators to express your opposition whenever there are resolutions or laws introduced by one or more AIPAC agents in the congress.
