ADL Asking the FBI to Investigate Leak in Pentagon Case
BY ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun
September 8, 2004
WASHINGTON - After nearly two weeks of rumor and innuendo surrounding an FBI probe into the possibility of an Israeli spy in the Pentagon, the Anti-Defamation League has formally requested that the FBI get to the bottom of who leaked news of the investigation to the press.
In a letter sent yesterday, the organization's national director, Abraham Foxman, wrote, "We are deeply troubled by what appears to be an intentional leak to the press about the investigation. As a result of this intentional leak, AIPAC and the State of Israel have been subjected to a litany of allusion, intimation and unsupported supposition."
Another letter, sent by Rep. Robert Wexler, a Democrat of Florida, to Attorney General Ashcroft, read, "It appears as though the Administration has responded to this investigation with both negligence and deception." The Wexler letter questioned why a two-year-long counterespionage probe has yet to lead to any arrests or indictments if the evidence was as strong as anonymous officials have told some newspapers.
