Israeli Spy Ring Busted! Developing ...
By Justin Raimondo
Larry Anthony Franklin, 58, a Pentagon analyst whose specialty is Iran, was arrested by
federal agents today when he turned himself. He is scheduled to appear in U.S. District
Court in Alexandria, Va., later today.
Franklin was observed last year by federal agents revealing top secret information to two
employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIPAC), longtime foreign policy director Steve Rosen, and
his deputy Keith Weissman, at a restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. A raid on his home
turned up 83 classified U.S. government documents
(http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/dod/usfrnkln50305cmp.pdf).
According to the indictment, "approximately 38 were classified 'Top Secret'. 37 were
classified 'Secret' ", and "approximately 8" were marked "Confidential".
The real stunner: "The dates of these documents spanned three decades".
This, I think, gives us some indication that Franklin's arrest is about to dredge up
something much larger than anyone now imagines. Remember, the FBI counterintelligence
stumbled on Franklin in the course of a much more extensive investigation that has been
going on for at least two years. According to the Washington Post:
"The counterintelligence probe, which is different from a criminal investigation,
focuses on a possible transfer of intelligence more extensive than whether Franklin passed
on a draft presidential directive on U.S. policy toward Iran, the sources said. The FBI is
examining whether highly classified material from the National Security Agency, which
conducts electronic intercepts of communications, was also forwarded to Israel, they
said."
So much for the preemptive attempts by Israel's amen corner to deride the charges as much
ado about nothing: a draft presidential directive, as David Frum
(http://rightweb.irc-online.org/ind/frum/frum.php) claimed in National Review, that anyone
who had the 35 cents to pay for a copy of the Washington Post could have access to. NSA
intercepts are the crown jewels of our intelligence hoard, which could not only reveal
specific and very sensitive information, but might also indicate U.S. sources and methods
of intelligence-gathering.
I have written about this case extensively, and will surely be writing more.
The trial should be interesting, to say the least. Suffice to say now that Larry
Franklin's treason is just the tip of the iceberg: what we are looking at is a
longstanding conspiracy by Israeli agents inside the U.S. government to not only funnel
classified materials to Tel Aviv, but to manipulate and bend U.S. foreign policy to serve
Israeli interests.
The indictment also states that Layy Franklin handed over classified materials to "a
foreign official and to members of the news media on other occasions".
Which "foreign official"? Gee, I wonder if anyone in the Israeli embassy is packing his or
her bags and hightailing it back home.
Guess which "members of the news media" -- now that's a fun game to play.
This is one trial that is going to be very interesting. Get out the popcorn, and the
dip-and-chips: maybe they'll run it on Court TV....
