FBI translator "Melek Can Dickerson", it turns out, was a former employee of the
American-Turkish Council which is under investigation for espionage and bribing
public officials. Shortly thereafter, Melek Can Dickerson and her husband fled the
country.

When Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and others drafted the now infamous strategy paper
titled “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm”, for the Israeli think
tank the "Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies" in 1996, they
highlighted Turkey's usefulness for "Israel" as Jerusalem sought to encircle Iran.

Interestingly, Turkey seems to be engaged in more than just joint military exercises
with Israel—America's two quasi-allies are also both embroiled in espionage scandals,
having spied in much the same manner. While American-Turkish Council (ATC) employees
discussed corrupting civil servants and political appointees in Washington and
Chicago, the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) staffers were sitting
down with Larry Franklin, the Pentagon's Iran analyst who was recently indicted for
disclosing classified information to Israel.
