Interesting article in Haaretz, concerning the AIPAC investigation by the FBI:
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/591644.htmlSomething is bothering the FBI
By Ze'ev Schiff
It is a mistake to think the FBI has concluded its investigations after indictments were served against Pentagon employee Lawrence Franklin for leaking classified security material to people close to Israel. Franklin, an intelligence investigator and an expert on Iran, has been linked to Naor Gilon, a diplomat at the Israeli embassy, and to two senior officials in the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). Apparently the FBI investigations have widened, and are now focusing on another Pentagon official and his connections. All this is taking place against the background of the current debate in the United States, in which the FBI is being blamed for its failure to discover the terror attack by Osama bin Laden's men in time.
*SNIP* Here it gets interesting:
One doesn't have to be an expert detective to understand that some of the material against Franklin was also based on wiretapping of the Israeli embassy in Washington. This is especially obvious from a conversation conducted by Steve Rosen of AIPAC with the Israeli embassy, in order to transmit information that came from Franklin, regarding the
intention of the Iranians to harm Israelis who are operating in Kurdistan, Iraq. This information was transmitted by Franklin, who was convinced by the FBI to participate in a "sting operation" against two AIPAC representatives.

What is going on here, folks?
