This is DEFINITELY not good for the Jews - if it's true.

Pentagon Official Is Suspected of Giving Israel Secrets

The espionage investigation has focused on an official who works in the office of Douglas Feith, the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, officials who have been briefed about the investigation said on Friday. The F.B.I. has gathered evidence that the Pentagon official passed classified policy documents to officials at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a major pro-Israeli lobbying group, who in turn provided the information to Israeli intelligence, the officials said.

I give a decent amount of money to AIPAC, but that would stop immediately if they were invovled in anything like this.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee also denied any wrongdoing. The organization said in a statement: "Any allegation of criminal conduct by the organization or its employees is baseless and false." The group added, "We are fully cooperating with the governmental authorities and will continue to do so."

I certainly hope so.

If Republicans were Democrats, they'd be screaming "timing!". Why relaease this now when the investigation is a year old? (Remember Sandy Berger and pantsgate?) I hope the Republicans don't do that.
