AIPAC conference set to open today
By Nathan Guttman
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) , America's pro-Israel lobby, opens
its 2005 policy conference today in Washington with 5000 delegates and dignitaries
present, including U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Congress leaders and Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon.
This is AIPAC's first conference since it was discovered last summer that seniors in the
organization were being investigated for receiving secret information from Pentagon
official Larry Franklin, and conveying it to Israel.
AIPAC is aiming to turn the conference into a display of force that will prove that AIPAC
was not compromised by the investigation. A great deal of attention, therefore, was placed
on publicizing the conference and on bringing top-notch officials from the administration
and from Congress to speak at the event.
The organization claims the investigation is ongoing, and that the dismissal of the senior
officials who were involved in the affair, Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, did not affect
the organization's work on Capitol Hill and with the U.S. administration.
