pappajacks Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 FBI Suspects Israeli Spy at Pentagon -- Govt Sources Friday, August 27, 2004 8:11 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI is investigating whether Israel had a spy at the highest level at the Pentagon who obtained classified documents about Iran for the Jewish state, U.S. government sources told Reuters on Friday. They said the documents were allegedly passed by an analyst in Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's office to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington, and ultimately ended up in Israel.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 this begs the question: why does Israel even bother with the spies? Why don't they just ask?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 Probably because we'll lie like hell. This is the government, remember.
Vanhalen Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 This story could end up becoming a lot bigger than it seems, I think we'd better keep a close eye on this one
bobobrazil1984 Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 AIPAC's statement on this made me laugh. It was some really general statement like "any criminal charges against any of our members are false." I mean like... do they have mechanical computer chips implanted in each of their members so they know what they're doing at all times so they're 100 percent sure? what if someone who's a member of the group steals a watch or something? he's not a thief!!!! the idea of "there would be no need on us to spy" is laughably stupid. Of course they spy on us and i'm sure we spy on them. still the idea of israeli spies is something that needs to be addressed. our policy shouldn't be influenced by them (and really, our policy is pretty friendly towards israel to begin with so is not a big problem), period. Yeah they're our friends but the whole "israel can do no wrong and anything not right about them is anti-semetic" thing is beyond stupid. I remember fox news running a 4 part story once on possible israeli spies in the US, then having to remove the transcript after "anti-semetic!" pressure (its funny becaue the site placeholder date-line and maybe headline is actualy still there, just no transcript. a few whack-job 'jews did 9/11' conspiracy pages have it saved though i'm loathe to link to any of those stupid sites)
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 This isn't the first time Isreal's been caught doing this. In the 70's they tried to seduce nuclear secrets from top American scientists. I use that verb quite literally as they tried to hook the guys up with girls who were from MOSSAD. This is a lot more common than most of you think. I know this country spies on it's allies. "The Falcon and the Snowman" began selling secrets to the Russians after they found out about CIA interference in Australian parlimentary elections, for example.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 I mean we know everyone spies on everyone, but given that basically everything we do in the Middle East is for Israel in the first place, it's not like we'd be keeping them in the dark in Iran. Not to mention that we're going to bomb the crap out of them after the election.
Guest CronoT Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Israel spies on everyone. You're talking about a government that has their equivalent of the CIA, the Musad(sp?), and spends tons of money every year continuing to track down nazis from WWII and guards from concentration camps.

We don't even HAVE an Iran policy. What could there be classified? -=Mike
Guest Paul H. Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 We bomb them..that's alway the policy. Isreal suppsodelys has a "pre-emptive" strike plan now ..how conveneiant for us,huh?I say it's bullshit someone funneled that info to them and what's them to act on it..prolly all made up to. Well they are more equipped to kick arab ass. It's just amazing to me how we just go to bat for these people yet they are more than capable of handling themselves.This war or the war on terror IMO lies squarley on their shoulders not that they don't have the right to defend themselevs or even that i disagree with them cuz i don't.But let's be real here..we should stop backing them so fucking hard,the oil is gonna get home regardless their security is top-nocth..fuck 'em.
