<font color=brown> Huh? I thought the Israelis were Mr. Bush's friends. WRONG AGAIN! This is the most incompetent White House in distant memory! Stupid is as stupid does! <font color=black> ******************************************************* FBI Probing Suspected Israeli Spy at Pentagon** Fri Aug 27, 2004 10:25 PM ET (Page 1 of 2) By Joanne Morrison WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI is investigating a high-level Pentagon analyst suspected of being an Israeli spy who passed secret documents about Iran to the Jewish state, U.S. government sources said on Friday. The officials told Reuters the analyst was connected to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's office and allegedly passed the documents to Israel via the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington. The sources declined to identify the suspect and said no arrests had been made and no charges brought. "No one has been charged," one government official said. The Pentagon issued a statement saying it was cooperating with the Justice Department in the investigation and playing down the possibility that the suspect had sought to sway U.S. policy in the Gulf or Middle East. "The investigation involves a single individual at the Department of Defense at the desk officer level who was not in a position to have significant influence over U.S. policy," it said. "Nor could a foreign power be in a position to influence U.S. policy through this individual. To the best of the Department of Defense's knowledge, the investigation does not target any other DOD individuals." The Israeli embassy denied the allegations. "They are completely false and outrageous," said a spokesman for the embassy who asked not to be identified and declined further comment. CBS News, who first reported the story, said federal agents were about to arrest the alleged spy, who it said may have been in a position to influence Bush administration policy on Iran and Iraq. The network said the analyst had ties to Rumsfeld's deputy Paul Wolfowitz and Defense Undersecretary Douglas Feith, both regarded as leading architects of the war on Iraq which President Bush launched in March last year. According to the network, one of the documents passed to Israel was a draft presidential directive on U.S. policy toward Iran -- lumped by Bush in an "axis of evil" with Iraq and North Korea. "This put the Israelis -- according to one of our sources -- 'inside the decision-making loop' so they could 'try to influence the outcome'," CBS reported. Continued ... © Reuters 2004.
